I've been able to code a basic plugin. The problem I'm having now is 
that I can't seem to figure out how to retrieve the password from the 
chap_verify_hook.

I've gotten my code to work with the hook, but the password appears to 
be fully encrypted. Does anyone know how I can get the original 
password, or an MD5 version of the password entered?

Thank you,
