pppd now creates /var/run/ttyXn.if file containing the interface name;
check that a 'login' user is not listed in /etc/ppp/ppp.disabled;
check that a 'login' user's shell is listed in /etc/ppp/ppp.shells;
make sure that passwordless 'login' logins are recorded in wtmp and
utmp.
and chap-secrets files. This allows specific users
