Xenix Dialup Security

The LOGIN(M) page for Xenix/286 states:
"At some installations, an option may be invoked that will require you
to enter a second `external' password. This will occur only for dialup
connections, and you will be prompted by the message `External security:'.
Both passwords are required for a successful login."
I would like to invoke this option. Unfortunately, the quoted paragraph is
the only reference that I have been able to find discussing this. Studying
the output of `strings /etc/login` hasn't helped (except that the string
"External security" doesn't occur). The SysV approach (using /etc/dialups
and /etc/d_passwd as documented in <228 at pyuxt.UUCP> (15-Dec-84)) doesn't
appear to work (and I can't see any references to the files /etc/dialups or
/etc/d_passwd in init, getty or login anyway).
Is this actually implemented in Xenix? Does anyone know how to set this up?
