[2.4.3] PPP errors

["Manfred H. Winter" <mahowi@gmx.net>]

Hi!

I still get from time to time the following errors when trying to use
ppp:

Apr  4 02:05:21 marvin pppd[1227]: Plugin /usr/lib/passwordfd.so loaded.
Apr  4 02:05:21 marvin pppd[1227]: pppd 2.4.0 started by mahowi, uid 500

sary.
Apr  4 02:05:21 marvin pppd[1227]: Couldn't set tty to PPP discipline: Invalid a
