Cisco 837 encrypted ppp password

[dangermouse]

I've got myself a Cisco 837 and trying to figure out how I can encrypt the ppp chap password. I've managed to do it for the enable secret and my user password, but every time I try to encrypt the ppp chap password I get an error.

ppp chap password 0 <password>

works fine for the unencrypted password but

ppp chap password 7 <password>

returns

Invalid encrypted password: <password in plain text>

Have I missed something?

Stick in ppp chap password <password>, and it should be encrypted when you look.

You should have service password-encryption too.

I had a feeling I had missed something somewhere.
