I tried with this line in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets:

user          *                       "password"

but pppd continues to complain:

Nov  4 15:47:35 cuori pppd[3003]: peer authentication required but no suitable s
ecret(s) found 
Nov  4 15:47:35 cuori pppd[3003]: for authenticating any peer to us (cuori.cnuce
.cnr.it)
