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.
