[j-nsp] junos PAP confusion

PAP configuration on JUNOS, or at least its documentation, seems very
confusing.
This router is a PPPoE client sitting on a regular (around here,
anyway) DSL connection. It's a J2320 running 9.6R1.13.
I never want to send PAP requests. I only want to respond to PAP
requests from the other end of a PPP link. The two pieces of
information I have to configure are a username and a password.
This seems to be the state of things:
pap {
default-pap-password "some secret";
local-name "some username";
local-password "nother secret, wtf";
passive;
}
Why do I need to define two passwords? I need to define both default-
pap-password and local-password, or I can't commit anything.
The documentation suggests that the local-name is only used when
originating PAP requests. I don't want to originate any PAP requests.
However, there's no other place to configure a username that I can see.
Needless to say it doesn't work :-)
Any clues?
