I'm having a similar, but different problem.

I have two servers, one running RH9 with FR 0.9.1 and another with 
CentOS-3.5, running freeradius 1.0.1.  Both are using a MySQL database 
on a third server for authentication.  The RH9 one is working just fine, 
but the CentOS version gives "passwords don't match" on everything. 
I've traced and looked at the queries, etc, and I'm convinced it's 
getting back the proper fields, but somehow is deciding they don't
match.  They are MD5-encrypted passwords, I believe.

Any ideas?  The MySQL is 3.23, and the CentOS has both the mysqlclient10 
and MySQL 4.1 client libs, but I'm not sure if that's significant since 
the CentOS machine definitely can connect to the MySQL DB, and I thought 
the major changes in client libs might affect that.

Thanks.
