How to Add CHAP Support to the PPP Configuration Files on a Dial-Out System

1. Log in to the dial-out system as superuser.
2. Ensure that the /etc/ppp/options file has the following options.

   # cat /etc/ppp/options
   lock
   nodefaultroute

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

   # cat /etc/ppp/peers/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 preceding file, see the similar /etc/ppp/peers/myserver file in How to Define the Connection With an Individual Peer.
