Hi,

are you talking about changing user passwords (as i first assumed) or are you 
talking
about changing the way RADIUS packets are passed (as Alan mentioned)?


if the former, then no code changes are needed on the server...it takes SHA1 
fine.

it you are talking about doing SHA1 for the shared secret - which then encrypts 
the
payload for passwords access-requests - then thats playing with RADIUS 
specification...
and if you are thinking of doing that then I'd say  STOP and use RADSEC instead.
