the only thing that seems to give any clue for := vs == is doc/rlm_attr_filter
[snip]
     o  The operators used for specifying the attributes are as follows:

           =    -  NOT ALLOWED.  If used, it becomes "=="

           :=   -  Set ( used to ensure a specific a/v is present )
           ==   -  Equal  ( exact )
           =*   -  Always Equal ( will allow all values for attribute )
           !*   -  Always Not Equal ( will block all values for attribute )
           !=   -  Not equal
           >=   -  Greater than or equal to
           <=   -  Less than or equal to
           >    -  Greater than
           <    -  Less than

           If you have regular expressions enabled you also have:

           =~   -  Regular expression equal
           !~   -  Regular expression not equal
[/snip]

so in theory, if these operators are the same everywhere (just an assumption, 
but i don't feel like digging into the source to find out for sure) then a 
radcheck with password := 123456 would set the password to 123456 and 
password == 123456 would see if the password is 123456
