Hmmm, could be whitespace messing it up, sounds like a
configuration problem anyway...  

However why keep a file around with passwords in it, when you
can authenticate using the /etc/passwd file!

Get a copy of ppp-plus from
ftp://ftp.al.imforei.apana.org.au/pub/freebsd/ppp-plus/

Pete put a lot of work into this and its been stable on our
system for 3 or 4 months now.  Also fixes some problems in the
original code and adds support for OS/2 and out-of-the-box Win95.

ciao
