How to Add CHAP Support to the PPP Configuration Files (Dial-out Machine)

1. Log in to the dial-out machine as superuser.

2. Ensure that the /etc/ppp/options file has the following options.

   # vi /etc/ppp/options lock nodefaultroute

3. Create an /etc/ppp/peers/peer-name file for the remote machine CallServe.

   # mkdir /etc/ppp/peers # vi CallServe /dev/cua/a 57600 noipdefault defaultroute idle 120 user account1 connect "chat -U 'mypassword' -f /etc/ppp/mychat"

   The option user account1 sets account1 as the CHAP user name to be given to CallServe. For a description of the other options in the previous file, see the similar /etc/ppp/peers/myserver file in "How to Define the Connection With an Individual Peer".
