sqlradius export (Passwords are encrypted !!!)

[Admore Nyamaka]

l am using freeside-1.5.0pre6 on Red Hat 9 and am using freeradius as
the RADIUS server. l have managed to set up a perfect export, when a new
user in added, they get added to the freeradius database(MySQL), but the
password is encrypted and the user cannot login (they get Access-Reject)
because of the encryption. l am scared to look into ivan's code (again),
because l don't want to hack to much into it (l have done that too much
now, and  l am afraid l will loose track of the changes l have made and
won't have a good upgrade when l need one). How can l disable the
encryption and export the passwords as plain text, or enable the same
encryption(l understand freeside uses crypt()) in freeradius DB. :-(

Ideas are welcome, speed will be appreciated. :-)

Please don't call me eidiot (although l am one)........l am three months
old in *NIX.
