your analyze is correct regarding the message in var/log/messages
tracing pppd is making generate more message in /var/log/messages by using a debug level something like "debug 9" in the adsl file.
like this we should see the negociation with the other side and information received from the dhcp server, there is a decoder that is wrong at some level,
why the "message" level, I don't know. Check an update of the pppd package for your distrib.

Hi,
pppd does return wrong DNS ip address. See /var/log/messages :
...
pppd[639]: local IP address 111.222.333.444 (*)
pppd[639]: remote IP address 192.168.100.1
pppd[639]: primary DNS address 195.31.88.203
pppd[639]: secondary DNS address 222.333.444.555 (*)
...
The primary DNS address is IMHO totally wrong!
My provider gives me two DNS IP, the first of which is the
secondary DNS
address above, and then another one, which belongs to the same
16bit network
one simple work-around is to add yourself the correct DNS and avoid pppd
to update it by commenting "usepeerdns" in adsl file
It's not a real problem to me because I set the correct DNS IPs with eciconf.sh so /etc/resolv.conf always has the right DNSs. However, I'm not used to underestimate warning messages and obviously what /var/log/messages collects while the OS works.
outside of that, a trace of the pppd exchange, that pppoeci can
generate should be a source to analyze
Please explain, what do you mean by "trace of the pppd exchange"? How can I trace it? I'm not very deep in pppd usage, I generally work with Ethernet connections and pppd is relatively new to me.
