This is not true.
>From the pap-secrets:
# Dont be disturbed therfore by the fact that this file defines logins with
# any password for users. /etc/passwd will catch passwd mismatches.
#
# This file should block ALL users that should not be able to do AUTO_PPP!
# AUTO_PPP bypasses the usual login program so its necessary to list all
# system userids with regular passwords here!
#
# ATTENTION: The definitions here can allow users to login without a
# password if you dont use the login option of pppd!
# The /etc/ppp/options file installed has the login option enabled
# INBOUND connections
# Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd
