It is supposed that the authentication table keeps either MD5 or DES
hashes of the user's passwords. Please make sure you don't store there
plaintext passwords or passwords encrypted via MySQL PASSWORD()
function.

The default configuration files use pseudo-account ROOT for
administrative access to the internals of GNU Radius daemon.
That is, this account can not be used to log in as a usual user.
If you have a Guile 1.4 or higher installed on your system, you
can use radctl command to obtain various information about the
functionality of the daemon using ROOT account. To do this,
run
        radctl -u ROOT -p <password>
