[freeside] Export to Freeradius MySQL database

[Peter Kolbe]

Freeside exports crypt passwords to radius database.

Freeradius then reads the encrypted passwords out of radius database when it 
needs it.

the Encryption linux systems uses (hopefully) cannot be decrypted,
What freeradius does is encrypt the password the NAS supplies, and compares 
it with the encrypted pass in the DB.
if they match, then there is a very good chance the passwords are the same, 
so it allows auth.

Hope that helps
Peter
