Yes, I did recompile it with shadow support.
In fact, I have done some debugging myself on the radiusd.c file.
Radiusd can get the username from client and grab the encrypted
password from local password file correctly. However, the password
passed by the client is in some sort of encryption (which is
know as MD5, RFC1321), and radiusd seems to have difficulty
decrypting the password correctly.
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the MD5 and cannot
completely understand why it will not correctly decrypt the
encrypted password passed by the radius client.
