However, cut and past the crypted password from /etc/shadow to the entry failed:

I'm using PEAP/MS-CHAPv2 for authentication. In the users file I only got the login name and a clear-text password.

I really want to start using Crypt-Password, but didn't quite get that to work.

You cannot use the unix crypt password value for the MS-CHAP algorithm. The MS-CHAP module requires either the MD4-based NT password hash, the plaintext password from which it can derive the NT has, or callout to Samba & domain membership.
