I use the Unix password and I have them set to use the unix password in radius.
This is what my users file looks like.

candyr Password = "UNIX", Expiration = "Jan 01 2010"
markon Password = "UNIX", Expiration = "Jan 01 2010"
nolcwe Password = "UNIX", Expiration = "Jan 01 2010"

When I restart radius it recognizes the new passwords. I am also using
shadow passwords. I still dont know why it does it????????? Could Linux
shadow passwords have anything to do with it?
