Currently local databases can only be used to authenticate PPP peers. A PPP
peer can be a user connecting via an external modem or over PPPoE (and in
future releases of WeOS, via an L2TP or PPTP VPN tunnel). The most common
configuration is to require the peer to authenticate itself when the WeOS device
has a server role, but it is also possible to require authentication in a client con-
figuration.
When a local database is created, a numeric ID is associated with it. This ID will
be used to reference the database from other contexts within WeOS. Additionally,
a description string may also be associated with the instance to make it easier to
remember their purpose, i.e. “maintainers”.
