82d6780c9e o Send a CHAP challenge of 16 random digits when RADIUS is
configured.  This isn't strictly necessary according to the
  rfc, but it's suggested there....
o Don't forget to include our authname when sending a
  CHAP challenge when RADIUS is configured.
o Don't supply the ``16'' representing the chap answer
  length to radius_Authenticate() - libradius does this
  for us.
o When we successfully authenticate via radius_Authenticate(),
  continue with datalink_AuthOk() as expected.

972a1bcf5d Initial RADIUS support (using libradius). See the man page for
details.  Compiling with -DNORADIUS (the default for `release')
removes support.

TODO: The functionality in libradius::rad_send_request() needs
      to be supplied as a set of routines so that ppp doesn't
      have to wait indefinitely for the radius server(s).  Instead,
      we need to get a descriptor back, select() on the descriptor,
      and ask libradius to service it when necessary.
      For now, ppp blocks SIGALRM while in rad_send_request(), so
      it misses PAP/CHAP retries & timeouts if they occur.

      Only PAP is functional.  When CHAP is attempted, libradius
      complains that no User-Password has been specified... rfc2138
      says that it *mustn't* be used for CHAP :-(
