OK, that sounds fairly normal.

mods-enabled/eap just handles the EAP (TTLS) part. The inner encrypted 
data (PAP in your case) then passes through the "inner-tunnel" virtual 
server. Yes it's enabled by default.

See raddb/sites-enabled/inner-tunnel

Configure ldap and pap in there and you should be good to go.

You would configure mysql (mods-enabled/sql) and then call "sql" where 
needed - presumably in sites-enabled/default in the accounting section.
