ppp link always dials when started with -auto?

Hi FreeBSD'ers,
I've just upgraded to 4.9-RC (from 4.2) and I'm really happy with
everything except ppp.
Whenever I start ppp (with ppp -auto pmdemand) it immediately starts to
dial - after connecting it briefly sends and receives a minimal amount of
data then sits there idly.
One other problem I've got with my upgrade is that I'm getting pam errors:
Oct 26 20:26:25 stoat login: no modules loaded for `login' service
Oct 26 20:26:25 stoat login: pam_open_session: Permission denied
(related?)
I've read the ppp faq and this question is covered and it says sendmail is
the often the culprit. This rang loud bells as I saw that the more recent
version of sendmail has depreciated the 'nodns' feature. So I tried
rebooting without sendmail running, but still the same problem. I tried
killing off a few daemons including inetd, lpd, usbd.. but no joy.
I added "log All +tcp/ip" to get the full output, but I don't know enough
about this stuff to go further. I initially get the following lines in
the log:
Oct 26 21:17:32 stoat ppp[466]: tun0: TCP/IP: OUT
<0>: fe80::240:95ff:fe44:3e11 ---> ff02::1:ff44:3e11 (72)
Oct 26 21:17:32 stoat ppp[466]: tun0: TCP/IP: OUT ICMP: :::135 --->
ff02::1:ff44:3e11 (16/64)
I've uploaded the rest of the conversation to:

My setup is an isolated workstation (no LAN, occasional dialup). Here are
some outputs:

I'd really appreciate some help here - I'm stuck in being able to
identify precisely what is using the link.
Many thanks,
David.
