Different CHAP passwords for bidirectional authentication

Hello Everyone:

I am trying to configure bidirectional CHAP authentication between two
routers.
It works using the standard configs on both sides
r2
username r5 password cisco
!
int bri0/0
ppp authentication chap

r5
username r2 password cisco
!
int bri0/0
ppp authentication chap

What I was trying to do is use a separate password for r2-to-r5
authentication and a different one for r5-to-r2
by doing this.
r2
username r5 password cisco
!
int bri0/0
ppp authentication chap
ppp chap password bob

r5
username r2 password bob
!
int bri0/0
ppp authentication chap

No luck!!

I even tried using the ppp chap password cisco on the r5 side
specifying cisco as the password, but no luck either.

Should this work or have I missed something.
I would like to see if it is possible to use a separate username/password
combination
for each side of the authentication.

Thanks
Bob
