debugging is all about debugging - finding out the problems - hence things are shown.
the password is shown because there could be a mismatch. back in the 1.x day some
things were still opaque....ongoing debates of 'users password is wrong' : 'oh no it isnt' :
'oh yes it is' : 'oh no it.....oh wait, yes, their password was wrong'. pointless.

ummm, hope you didnt just copy/paste the configs. you need to ensure that the 2.x config
has the right options pset...but not configured in the same way. there is a reason why its
FreeRADIUS 2.x rather than 1.x - you need to adapt your config for the new version.
