They had livinstong with postgresql, which i migrated to freeradius and
mysql. The sad point is that the administrative guys had another list,
with some aditional users that were not in the postgresql
database(removed for lack of payment) and that are now getting the
service again.

Re:(2) log clear passwords

by the way, didnt they have a password database to authenticate users 
anyhow? how come they have an not up to date database of passwords? How 
were they authenticating anyhow?

 Why would you want to log the password from the database?  You can
always look it up in the database, if you care what it is.


In my case, we migrated 2000 dial up users to a new ISP. We were given a
list of login and passwords, not fully updated with the real info in the
client side. 
I want to log the clear text password to be able to say to the client
"you are typing XXX as password".
It's incredible, but we have many dial up users who say "Im typing X as
password", but they are entering "Y".
Is just to give better support to clients.
