  The default configuration of FreeRADIUS doesn't re-write passwords
this way.  In fact, it doesn't re-write passwords at all.

  Either you changed something on your local system to re-write the
passwords like this, OR this is actually how the passwords are being
received by FreeRADIUS.

  If this is how the passwords are being received by FreeRADIUS, then it
is NOT a FreeRADIUS problem.  Go fix the client, or use a client that works.
