Is there in pppd an option to specify that we want the peer

You'd do it with "refuse-pap refuse-chap refuse-mschap
refuse-mschap-v2".
Sorry, I made the question in a wrong manner.
I don't want to tell the peer what authentication to do if necessary, but
I want to tell it that I want to authenticate myself (and with EAP), else I
won't connect.
Is there a way?
He understood you perfectly. That is precicely what the refuse-... do,
except that you cannot force the other side to authenticate you . If you
want them to authenticate themselves to you then you must say do.
Ie, authentication is under the control of whoever wants the other side to
be authenticated. Nothing else makes any sense. Of course since eap in some
sense is a bilateral authentication one might argue that y our request is
sensible, but the way to do it is for you to demand eap authentication from
the other side, and to refuse all other types of authentication from the
other side, as Carlson suggested.
Why by the way do you want to force the other side to authenticate you?
