Yes, I cvsuped. And buildworld ran through. But since installworld
did not run without glitches I manually did a make install in
usr.sbin/ppp and usr.sbin/libnetgraph, also rebuilt and installed
kernel once again. And now it seems that pppoe connects again.

But I still cannot get the ppp network running right from the start.
The network doesn't come up during boot. I have to start ppp
manually and then it does connect.

I don't know if something in the rc.network has changed but
during boot the system hangs in two places for very long so that
I have to ^C out.

First is after the message Recovering vi files, the other
after starting sendmail.

^Cing out has the consequence that the network stack isn't up and
sendmail isn't running.

I'm doing a mergemaster at the moment and see if it gets any better
after this.
