The mysql module at the moment (first it did.. but it's removed for the
better) does not do the actual "authenticate" process. This means, you can
NOT include 'sql' in the 'authenticate' part of the radiusd.conf file.
Instead, mysql adds attributes so the 'chap' or 'pap' module can do the
'authenticate' part.
see http://www.swx.nl/freeradius/freeradiussql.html > configuration > step 3
..
So it is completely possible to "store passwords (or their hashes) in a
database not in a file"...
