>Description:
The ppp.8 manpage mentions that TAB characters must be used as delimiters
in /etc/syslog.conf. This is no longer the case:

     o   Create a log file.  Ppp uses syslog(3) to log information.  A common
         log file name is /var/log/ppp.log. To make output go to this file,
         put the following lines in the /etc/syslog.conf file:

               !ppp
               *.*<TAB>/var/log/ppp.log

         Make sure you use actual TABs here.  If you use spaces, the line will
         be silently ignored by syslogd(8).
