The spppcontrol(8) utility that is required to set or display things
like PAP and CHAP secrets with sppp(4). This is the first utility using the new SIOC[SG]IFGENERIC ioctls (and the reason for inventing them in the first place).

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm spppcontrol
+.Nd display or set parameters for an sppp interface
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl v
+.Ar ifname
+.Op Ar parameter Ns Op \&= Ns Ar value
+.Op Ar ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Xr sppp 4
+driver might require a number of additional arguments or optional
+parameters besides the settings that can be adjusted with
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+These are things like authentication protocol parameters, but also
+other tunable configuration variables. The
+.Nm
+utility can be used to display the current settings, or adjust these
+parameters as required.
+.Pp
+For whatever intent
+.Nm
+is being called, at least the parameter
+.Ar ifname
+needs to be specified, naming the interface for which the settings
+are to be performed or displayed. Use
+.Xr ifconfig 8 ,
+or
+.Xr netstat 1
+to see which interfaces are available.
+.Pp
+If no other parameter is given,
+.Nm
+will just list the current settings for
+.Ar ifname
+and exit. The reported settings include the current PPP phase the
+interface is in, which can be one of the names
+.Em dead ,
+.Em establish ,
+.Em authenticate ,
+.Em network ,
+or
+.Em terminate .
+If an authentication protocol is configured for the interface, the
+name of the protocol to be used, as well as the system name to be used
+or expected will be displayed, plus any possible options to the
+authentication protocol if applicable. Note that the authentication
+secrets (sometimes also called
+.Em keys )
+are not being returned by the underlying system call, and are thus not
+displayed.
+.Pp
+If any additional parameter is supplied, superuser privileges are
+required, and the command works in
+.Ql set
+mode. This is normally done quietly, unless the option
+.Fl v
+is also enabled, which will cause a final printout of the settings as
+described above once all other actions have been taken. Use of this
+mode will be rejected if the interface is currently in any other phase
+than
+.Em dead .
+Note that you can force an interface into
+.Em dead
+phase by calling
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+with the parameter
+.Ql down .
+.Pp
+The currently supported parameters include:
+.Bl -tag -offset indent -width indent
+.It Ar authproto Ns \&= Ns Em protoname
+Set both, his and my authentication protocol to
+.Em protoname .
+The protocol name can be one of
+.Ql chap ,
+.Ql pap ,
+or
+.Ql none .
+In the latter case, the use of an authentication protocol will be
+turned off for the named interface. This has the side-effect of
+clearing the other authentication-related parameters for this
+interface as well (i. e., system name and authentication secret will
+be forgotten).
+.It Ar myauthproto Ns \&= Ns Em protoname
+Same as above, but only for my end of the link. I. e., this is the
+protocol when remote is authenticator, and I am the peer required to
+authenticate.
+.It Ar hisauthproto Ns \&= Ns Em protoname
+Same as above, but only for his end of the link.
+.It Ar myauthname Ns \&= Ns Em name
+Set my system name for the authentication protocol.
+.It Ar hisauthname Ns \&= Ns Em name
+Set his system name for the authentication protocol. For CHAP, this
+will only be used as a hint, causing a warning message if remote did
+supply a different name. For PAP, it's the name remote must use to
+authenticate himself (in connection with his secret).
+.It Ar myauthsecret Ns \&= Ns Em secret
+Set my secret (key, password) for use in the authentication phase.
+For CHAP, this will be used to compute the response hash value, based
+on remote's challenge. For PAP, it will be transmitted as plaintext
+together with the system name. Don't forget to quote the secrets from
+the shell if they contain shell metacharacters (or white space).
+.It Ar myauthkey Ns \&= Ns Em secret
+Same as above.
+.It Ar hisauthsecret Ns \&= Ns Em secret
+Same as above, to be used if we are authenticator and the remote peer
+needs to authenticate.
+.It Ar hisauthkey Ns \&= Ns Em secret
+Same as above.
+.It Ar callin
+Require remote to authenticate himself only when he's calling in, but
+not when we are caller. This is required for some peers that do not
+implement the authentication protocols symmetrically (like Ascend
+routers, for example).
+.It Ar always
+The opposite of
+.Ar callin .
+Require remote to always authenticate, regardless of which side is
+placing the call. This is the default, and will not be explicitly
+displayed in
+.Ql list
+mode.
+.It Ar norechallenge
+Only meaningful with CHAP. Do not re-challenge peer once the initial
+CHAP handshake was successful. Used to work around broken peer
+implementations that can't grok being re-challenged once the
+connection is up.
+.It Ar rechallenge
+With CHAP, send re-challenges at random intervals while the connection
+is in network phase. (The intervals are currently in the range of 300
+through approximately 800 seconds.) This is the default, and will not
+be explicitly displayed in
+.Ql list
+mode.

+.Sh EXAMPLES
+.Bd -literal
+# spppcontrol bppp0
+bppp0: phase=dead
+ myauthproto=chap myauthname="uriah"
+ hisauthproto=chap hisauthname="ifb-gw" norechallenge
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Display the settings for bppp0. The interface is currently in
+.Em dead
+phase, i. e. the LCP layer is down, and no traffic is possible. Both
+ends of the connection use the CHAP protocol, my end tells remote the
+system name
+.Ql uriah ,
+and remote is expected to authenticate by the name
+.Ql ifb-gw .
+Once the initial CHAP handshake was successful, no further CHAP
+challenges will be transmitted. There are supposedly some known CHAP
+secrets for both ends of the link which are not being shown.
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal
+# spppcontrol bppp0 \e
+ authproto=chap \e
+ myauthname=uriah myauthsecret='some secret' \e
+ hisauthname=ifb-gw hisauthsecret='another' \e
+ norechallenge
+.Ed
+.Pp
+A possible call to
+.Nm
+that could have been used to bring the interface into the state shown
+by the previous example.
