RR:Your not crazy for sure. The problem authenticating with Windows boxen 
RR:is that they only support MSCHAPv2… kudos to Microsoft.

hi rui - thanks for that, although my family and co workers may disagree!  

according to this wiki faq entry:

http://wiki.freeradius.org/guide/faq#How-do-I-make-Windows-XP-clients-use-only-PAP-%28Not-CHAP%29

it's possible to force ms to use pap.  somehow, though, after reading 
another reply to my post, i'm getting the feeling ms clients are munging 
something in the username because it's not being found in the users file.
