The ppp ms-chap password command is sent in CHAP responses and is used by the peer to authenticate the
local router. This does not affect local authentication of the peer. The ppp ms-chap password command is
useful for routers that do not support this command (such as routers running older software images).
The MS-CHAP secret password is used by the routers in response to challenges from an unknown peer.
