freeradius on freebsd

[Jim Pazarena]

I am having issues with freeradius being told
system passwords are incorrect by freebsd, where I
know they are not wrong.

I think it relates to freeradius submitting crypt passwords
while freebsd defaults to MD5.

Has anyone encountered this issue on FreeBSD? Seems the
freeradius newsgroup doesn't have any freebsd active
participants.

Could someone suggest how to coax freeradius to submit
MD5 encrypted passwords to the system?
