Hello ethereal dev people,
as of version 0.9.9 ethereal decrypts the radius user-password field. The tunnel-password extension field (code 69, see RFC 2868) is encrypted with a similar but still slightly different method. Since I needed very much to decrypt this password I hacked up ethereal to decrypt it, and even though the code is very much a hack I figured I would send it to you.
Also note that the current patch requires you to manually identify which request is being answered by a given accept, something that could be automated by looking at the id field or similar.
Do with the attached patch what you will - I hope it proves useful.
