 #  This file is used to authenticate incoming connections.
 #  You must ``enable'' either PAP or CHAP in your ppp.conf file.
 #  The peer may then use any of the Authname/Authkey pairs listed.
-#  If an IP address is given, it will be assigned to the peer.
+#  Additionally, if ``passwdauth'' is enabled and an entry isn't
+#  found in this file, the passwd(5) database is used.
+#
+#  If the password is specified as "*", look it up in passwd(5).
+#  This doesn't work for CHAP connections as ppp must have access
+#  to the unencrypted password for CHAP.
+#
+#  If an IP address is given as the third field, it will be assigned
+#  to the peer.
+#
+#  If a label is given as the forth field, it is used when reading
+#  the ppp.linkup and ppp.linkdown files.
 #  
 #  If an entry exists for your local machine (as given by the
 #  ``hostname -s'' command), the password specified will be
-#  required for all server socket connections.  Refer to the ppp(8)
-#  and pppctl(8) man pages for further details.
+#  used as the default diagnostic port password.  Refer to the ppp(8)
