I understand that freeradius is based on RFCs and that changing some attributes modifies the protocol. But in my case I want every radius packet to have fixed User-Name and Password length (because my thesis implementation says so!). All I asked is which files contain the code that determine the length of these attributes when I use EAP-MD5 authentication.

  Huh?  If you shrink the packets, then you won't be using RADIUS.

  Then use short User-Names.  The User-Password attribute is mandated
by the RFC's to be 18 bytes long, so you can't shrink it.

  The length of the attributes is determined by their content.  See
the RFC's.
