 The cause is probably that /etc/rc.d/ppp is using su -m, which uses the
 invoking user's shell from /etc/passwd. There doesn't seem a good
 alternative for su -m though, other than requiring the target user have
 /bin/sh as shell and using plain su or su -. A new option to su to
 execute a command using /bin/sh could be useful.
