Hello,

first, please use the correct way of quoting for mailing list. This is to say, write your comments below the original text that it refers to. That way readers who pick up a thread later can follow more easily. But now back to topic.

You wrote that you changed clear text passwords to crypt-passwords. This means to me you updated your database, hence your database does not show clear text passwords anymore. What exactly did you do, when you changed from clear text to crypt-passwords?

I assumed to did something like this:

UPDATE radcheck set attribute = 'Crypt-Password', value = SOME_FANCY_CONVERT_FUNCTION( value ) WHERE some_senseful_condition_here;

Anyway, I now notice that you were speaking of "radacct". This table is not to show any password at all.
