Once upon a time Sverre Hjelm shaped the electrons to say...

If you want to dial into a PM and challenge it with CHAP you have to have
a locally configured user in the users table. As you know, RADIUS does not
do it.

>Now, unless I'm mistaking, there is no support for 2-way chap in the radius

Nope - and none forthcoming. It was brought up and rejected in the IETF WG.

This is not a common need, and the engineering stance is that challenging
the box you dialed is rare, and usually pointless.
