input routines and take advantage of the new init/continue
interface in libradius. This allows a timely response on
other links in an MP setup while RADIUS requests are in
progress as well as the ability to handle other data from
the peer in parallel. It should also make the future addition
of PAM support trivial.
While I'm in there, validate pap & chap header IDs if
``idcheck'' is enabled (the default) for other FSM packet
types.
NOTE: This involved integrating the generation of chap
challenges and the validation of chap responses
(and commenting what's going on in those routines).
I currently have no way of testing ppps ability
to respond to M$Chap CHALLENGEs correctly, so if
someone could do the honours, it'd be much
appreciated (it *looks* ok!).

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.

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 :-(
