Lo all,

>From the ppp man page.

        -background
             Here, ppp attempts to establish a connection with the peer 
imme-
             diately.  If it succeeds, ppp goes into the background and the
             parent process returns an exit code of 0.  If it fails, ppp 
exits
             with a non-zero result.


Where can I see what the other 'non-zero' results are, and what they mean? 
I'm looking for the specific return to indicate a authentication failure.
