  The MS-CHAP specifications are public, and can be read by anyone. 

  There's no need to ask a question here and wait days for an answer.  You can find the answer with about 5 minutes of searching the net.

  MS-CHAP uses MD4, not SHA1.  If you had read RFC 2759, you would see that.

  Also, if you had read RFC 2759, you would know the procedures for updating RFCs.  Which is controlled by the IETF, not by FreeRADIUS.
