[ILUG] ESAT suffree and surf no-limits scripts.

[Brian]

In linux, the setup difference between pap,chap, and scripts isn't too
different and is quite easy to setup with pppd, the pap-secrets and
chap-secrets files use the exact same format, for example this is what
would be in each file:

username * password *

for pppd to use pap or chap you need to remove the username/password
lines in your pppscript and add the following line to your  
/etc/ppp/options file:

user username

when trying to connect pppd will try to match the username specified on
the above line to a line in one of your secrets files and will then
authenticate itself.  The major differences between pap and chap is that
you initiate the pap authentication and everything is sent in cleartext,
chap is initiated by the server and you return a hash of the password and
servername(so the actual password is never sent). Hope this clears some
things up, if you need more info type man pppd and goto line 1090.
