Hello friends,

I noticed in the radiusd.conf man page that the bsdauth module only
supports PAP:

"It only supports PAP, password based authentication."

Is there a specific reason as to why CHAP isn't implemented? I am
assuming it is due to time / interest constraints but perhaps the
quality of CHAP is in question too -- I see in the RFC that MD5 is
assigned a specific value, making me wonder if MD5 is the predominant
algorithm of CHAP implementations in the wild and perhaps considered
insecure by the community.

On a side note, does anyone know which algorithms are used in CHAP
besides MD5?

Thanks,

Pete
