Nonsense.

  You *cannot* turn MS-CHAP into the cleartext-password.  It's impossible.

I imagine, the FreeRadius work with
auth using another form (OpenLDAP is used do retrieve information, not
to parse or auth, and of course, I see this enviroment on FreeRadius,
and like it).
Get information of OpenLDAP, encode password from user, and compare each
other,
this idea is so simple, of course, on simple enviroment too. On
this case, I will use the "hard way", to understand why it's impossible.
Yes, *that* is possible.  Turning Cleartext-Password into MS-CHAP.

  But that's not what you asked.
