>Description:
$ fgrep '$FreeBSD' /etc/rc.d/ppp
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/rc.d/ppp,v 1.11.2.4 2007/10/31 18:53:07 emax Exp $

$ grep 'DEBUG:.*ppp' /var/log/messages
Jan 10 13:11:17 squeeze root: /etc/rc: DEBUG: checkyesno: pppoed_enable is set to NO.

NOTE: manual start here:
Jan 10 13:26:19 squeeze rachie: /etc/rc.d/ppp: DEBUG: checkyesno: ppp_enable is set to YES.
Jan 10 13:26:19 squeeze rachie: /etc/rc.d/ppp: DEBUG: run_rc_command: doit: ppp_start 
Jan 10 13:26:20 squeeze rachie: /etc/rc.d/ppp: DEBUG: run_rc_command: start_postcmd: ppp_poststart 

rcorder lists ppp to be executed.

rc.conf:
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_profile="acs_alaska"
>How-To-Repeat:
	Reboot a machine with ppp enabled as above.
>Fix:

Tried to figure out why, but it doesn't even show up as candidate for execution,
so the rc_debug output is useless. It used to work with a previous install,
judging from kernel.old date, created on Aug 20.
