man pppd(8).

Or, the longer answer, (ch|p)ap-secrets.

# client	server	secret	IPs
user1		server	""	192.168.105.192
user2		server	""	192.168.105.193
user3		server	""	192.168.105.194

If you want, replace "server" with "*".  This assumes that you're giving the 
"login" option to PPPD so that passwords are checked against /etc/passwd 
rather than the field in (ch|p)ap-secrets; and it also assumes you'll 
provide either the +pap or +chap options to pppd.

ymmv, ianasa, bmmdi, etc, fwiw, hth.
