The format is as per the pppd manpage.  I have both a pap-secrets and
chap-secrets file which look as follows:

    bignose	*	@/etc/ppp/secret

indicating that the client name is bignose, this applies to all servers
I'm going to be establishing PPP connections with, and the secret can be
found in the file /etc/ppp/secret.

Unfortunately the pppd manpage doesn't actually contain an example
secrets file so it's easy to skim past the section detailing the format
without realising it.  Search for pap-secrets within the manpage.
