Hi All. I have a few freeRADIUS newbie questions for you. I have always read and been told that PAP is insecure because it transmits passwords in clear text. However, If I sniff the communication between my NAS and server when PAP is used, the password is indeed obfuscated. It appears to be hashed. So my questions are: 1) First and foremost, am I interpreting this correctly? 2) If so, is it the shared secret defined in the clients.conf file that is used as a key for the hash? 3) If not, any clue as to what I am seeing, and in that case, what is the shared secret used for? As you can see, I am looking for some basic info about the flow of the connection. I have taken an honest shot at RTFM, but have not come across these details yet. Can someone please explain or point me to an explanation? Thanks in advance. Chuck
