2165 Extra Auth-Type "Crypt-Unix" for unix crypt() password check
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We always have used our unix crypted password files for authentication
and do not have the clear text passwords of our users out of security
precautions. Therefore we could not use gnu-radius out-of-the-box,
which uses MD5 for encrypting user passwords. With this patch it
is possible to use something like this in your users file:

DEFAULT Auth-Type              = "Crypt-Unix",
            Password-Location  = "SQL"
        NULL
----------------------------------------------------------------------

With kind regards,
