 Hello!
 
   The problem is in /etc/rc.d/ppp script's function
   ppp_start_profile():
 
   su -m $ppp_user -c "$command ${rc_flags} ${_ppp_profile}"
   
   The su command does not execute during bootup that's why ppp is not
   started.
   Fix:
   Replace
      su -m $ppp_user -c "$command ${rc_flags} ${_ppp_profile}"
   with
     $command ${rc_flags} ${_ppp_profile}
 
   ppp will be executed with root privileges
