Ummm...I would like to see what ppp is doing (in userland) and since 
it logs to /var/log/ppp.log under syslogd...since syslogd does not 
start BEFORE ppp...how can I make this possible?

rcorder /etc/rc.d/*

...
/etc/rc.d/ppp
/etc/rc.d/ipfw
/etc/rc.d/nsswitch
/etc/rc.d/ip6addrctl
/etc/rc.d/atm2
/etc/rc.d/pfsync
/etc/rc.d/pflog
/etc/rc.d/pf
/etc/rc.d/routing
/etc/rc.d/ip6fw
/etc/rc.d/network_ipv6
/etc/rc.d/mroute6d
/etc/rc.d/route6d
/etc/rc.d/mrouted
/etc/rc.d/routed
/etc/rc.d/NETWORKING
/etc/rc.d/devd
/etc/rc.d/ipsec
/etc/rc.d/mountcritremote
/etc/rc.d/devfs
/etc/rc.d/ipmon
/etc/rc.d/ramdisk-own
/etc/rc.d/newsyslog
/etc/rc.d/syslogd
...

See? - so nothing is logged to /var/log/ppp.log until AFTER syslogd is started.
