urgh. no need. just call the module in authenticate.

if you are goign off-piste you need to hack in a lot more eg

 authenticate {
	Auth-Type exec {
       exec
	}
 }

I doubt that works though - you cant just go freestyle and make up your own syntax

because you are checking passwords and authenticating someone. so you use authenticate
