Someone with the skills could probably dig that out of FreeRadius.

As to the whole "clear password" issue, I've found that a few of the major 
US roaming/outsourced dial providers will only do CHAP (not MS-CHAP) out 
of some POPs, which kind of forces the issue of clear password storage. 
It's kind of stupid; the chances of someone tapping a phone line and 
getting that clear text PAP is pretty slim compared to the chances of 
someone snarfing clear-text passwords in a file or DB.
