Does `hostname' output the same name as the one in ppp.secret ?  
Also, if you get the latest ppp, you can specify this password on the 
`set server' line (which now must be there).

Perhaps /var/log/ppp.log doesn't already exist.  You need to create a 
zero length file if it doesn't.  This should be done by newsyslog(8).

Also, make sure that *only* tabs are used in syslog.conf.  Syslogd is 
quite particular about this.
