This procedure uses the PPP configuration files that were introduced in How to Define Communications Over the Serial Line as examples. The procedure configures the dial-out machine that belongs to user2, as shown in Figure 30–3.
Log in to the dial-out machine as superuser.
Modify the /etc/ppp/options file.
The next /etc/ppp/options file contains options for PAP support, which are shown in bold.
#vi /etc/ppp/options lock nodefaultroute name user2 auth require-pap |
Create an /etc/ppp/peers/peer-name file for the remote machine myserver.
The next sample shows how to add PAP support to the existing /etc/ppp/peers/myserver file that was created in How to Define the Connection With an Individual Peer.
# cd /etc/ppp # mkdir peers # cd peers # vi myserver /dev/cua/a 57600 noipdefault defaultroute idle 120 user user2 remotename myserver connect "chat -U 'mypassword' -f /etc/ppp/mychat" |
The new options in bold add PAP requirements for peer myserver.

Defines user2 as the user name of the local machine |
remotename myserver |
