okay. attribute set to Crypt-Password. however, when you changed to SHA1 or
MD5 you DIDNT change this attribute. from the Documentation, you can see

       Header       Attribute          Description
       ------       ---------          -----------
       {clear}      User-Password      clear-text passwords
       {cleartext}  User-Password      clear-text passwords
       {crypt}      Crypt-Password     Unix-style "crypt"ed passwords
       {md5}        MD5-Password       MD5 hashed passwords
       {smd5}       SMD5-Password      MD5 hashed passwords, with a salt
       {sha}        SHA-Password       SHA1 hashed passwords
       {ssha}       SSHA-Password      SHA1 hashed passwords, with a salt
       {nt}         NT-Password        Windows NT hashed passwords
       {x-nthash}   NT-Password        Windows NT hashed passwords
       {lm}         LM-Password        Windows Lan Manager (LM) passwords.

the error log posted clearly showed rlm_pap bleating away that it was being told
to use MD5 or SHA but that only Crypt-Password attribute was present.
