To not log passwords in the detail file, because it puts them at
unnecessary risk of exposure.

Actually, I may be confused here.  Are we talking about passwords
entered by users and sent to the RADIUS daemon by a NAS being logged in
the radius.log or the detail file?  I ask because I *don't* see this
behavior (except in debugging mode) on freeradius 1.0.5.  So maybe we're
talking about something else.

We have strict rules here about handling sensitive data; I'd be in big
trouble if any of my systems was storing user-supplied passphrases in a
log file.
