Exporting the clients & users data from this server for use in the FreeRadius server gave me encrypted secrets for both clients & users.

Huh? The shared secrets used by RADIUS are clear-text. There are no secrets for users.

should I ask for the cleartext secrets from the NAS clients and use those instead?

Yes.

I'm using plain PPP (NAS clients' requirement). Does that mean I can use PAP and CHAP authentication or PAP only?

I'll bet that the answer is PAP only. Alan DeKOk.
