Re: BillMax questions -- Plaintext Password

[Jeff LaCoursiere <jeff@jeff.net>]

Why must it be in plaintext on your radius server?  Perhaps you can keep
it crypted and use the UNIX password file to authenticate your users...

This confuses me below, though.  I no longer have a billmax server to test
this on, but I was sure that you got the PASSWORD entry only with a new
service, not an existing one.  The environment that you sent to me was
definitely of a service update, and it didn't contain the variable.  So
which is it?

Thanks,
