/var/log/ppp.log only contains lines like: Nov 15 23:53:15 MyHost 
/kernel: ppp configured!
Yes '#!/bin/sh' is on the top of the file.

echo " ppp is up!!!"
echo " ppp is up!" >> ip-up.log

But no sign :-(

My owner is root:wheel, yours?
Are you using the "noauth" or "persist" pppd options too?

Thanks for the help
