Yes, we've tried to update it before but other things interfered

It doesn't look like there's anything to configure in mschap, the old system has all the mschap stuff commented out by default and so does the new system, but mschap is failing and it looks like it's not even getting to the sql part. It really just needs to ignore the mschap since the only part of it getting used is one of a few static usernames. I can send the full debug output privately if need be...

The client system is configured with a static user/pw, there's an sql 
procedure that verifies the static user/pw then checks the mac address 
against the db

It's not getting to the sql because the mschap is failing. Which gave me 
the idea of putting sql first, and it passes, but mschap fails, so I 
tried just commenting out mschap, but then it complains that nothing is 
handling cleartext passwords. I'm not sure how it's working on the old 
system since the point of chap is to avoid *having* passwords...
