DEP8: test more auth algorithms

[Andreas Hasenack]

While testing freeradius 3.0.26git-snapshot (head of v3.0.x) with openssl3, I came across a core dump while trying an authentication using mschap:

$ radtest -t mschap bob hello 127.0.0.1:18120 0 testing123
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I checked the existing DEP8 tests and the python ones does test authentication, but without specifying the mechanism. It uses radclient, and maybe it doesn't know other mechanisms. But the above shows we could benefit from more coverage in this area.

3.0.26 isn't released. But if the git "head" of v3.0.x crashes, that's bad.

Perhaps you could include back trace from gdb?

FreeRADIUS also includes tests for various authentication types, but it doesn't include tests with radclient for MS-CHAP

I just filed an usptream issue: https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/issues/4403

It was with HEAD of v3.0.x indeed.

Note it's a client-side crash

Fix pushed https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/commit/beb1351d682ab6f1170cc60ce7ca05f597e5d7d6

Thanks a lot, Alan!
