  Either (a) you didn't include the error messages, or (b) nabble
stripped them.

  It's trivial to get CHAP working.  Set a password as per examples in
the FAQ.  CHAP will work.

  If CHAP doesn't work, then (a) you broke CHAP by editing the
configuration files, or (b) the password in your DB is incompatible with
CHAP.

  In case of (a), use the default configuration.  In case of (b), change
passwords to clear-text, or don't use CHAP.
