That seems to be a problem with the radtest/radclient. Can you test with
some "real" RADIUS client? The server may now work correctly but the
special characters in User-Password seem to be "destroyed" by the
radtest/radclient so they are never sent to the server.

I haven't tested 1.1.1 yet, so unfortunately I cannot give more specific
help :(
