The default freeradius config supports CHAP, so all you need to supply is a 
password for the user.  According to [1], CHAP requires the cleartext 
password.

A users file example with the default freeradius 1.1.3 config would be:

  userX  User-Password := "secretpass"

To test CHAP auth, run the following.

  ( echo 'User-Name = "userX"'; echo 'CHAP-Password = "secretpass"' ) | 
radclient your.radius.server:1812 auth your_secret
