Well, that's part of my issue; where's the best place to check the password
and convert it to binary when needed.

In the rlm_chap.C file I also notice that there's the code:

	DEBUG("  rlm_chap: Using clear text password \"%s\" for user %s
authentication.",
	      passwd_item->strvalue, request->username->strvalue);


rad_chap_encode(request->packet,pass_str,request->password->strvalue[0],passwd_item);

	if (memcmp(pass_str+1,request->password->strvalue+1,CHAP_VALUE_LENGTH) !=
0){
		DEBUG("  rlm_chap: Password check failed");
		snprintf(module_fmsg,sizeof(module_fmsg),"rlm_chap: Wrong user password");
		module_fmsg_vp = pairmake("Module-Failure-Message", module_fmsg, T_OP_EQ);
		pairadd(&request->packet->vps, module_fmsg_vp);
		return RLM_MODULE_REJECT;
	}

Could I also modify the password there? I'm just trying to find the easiest
way to check if the password should be read as a string or binary and then
parse it properly BEFORE it is CHAP encoded because I can't change the
hardware.

  Yes.  see "bin2hex" and "hex2bin".  See also rlm_pap in 1.1.4, which
does a lot of this kind of normalization already.
