I think your problem with the encrypted password is that you need to use a
standard DES or MD5 crypted password, not MySQL's own crypt function.
Cutting and pasting a password from a standard unix password file should
give you something to test with.

I *think* that putting an entry like this in the users file is needed for
clear-text (I had to do this to get CHAP working):

Auth-Type = Local,
                Password-Location = SQL,
                Service-Type = Framed-User,
                Session-Timeout = 0,
                Idle-Timeout = 0

Take this all with a grain of salt, I haven't been using gnu-radius for
too long...

Thanks,
