Hi!
PPP does not start at system startup although ppp_enable="YES" is in /etc/rc.conf. It used to start allright just a couple of days before - and for months on end before. The problem is I did many things during these two days, and I just can't remember everything in particular. I slightly reconfigured kernel, installed isc-dhcp3-server, tried to run samba, edited rc.conf and some other config files - but I'm positive that I haven't done anything that should affect ppp behaviour directly. I haven't changed /etc/ppp/ppp.conf - and it's pretty basic.
Here's the relevant part of rc.conf: ppp_enable="YES" ppp_mode="ddial" ppp_profile="mtu" ppp_user="root" ppp_nat="YES"
All other entries in rc.conf are still effective and everything starts ok - except ppp. I can easily start ppp manually. There's nothing in ppp.log dated between system startup and manual ppp start. The only error in dmesg is:
module_register: module netgraph already exists!
linker_file_sysinit "netgraph.ko" failed to register! 17
but google has told me that this is not critical. My kernel config is as follows:

If you're out of ideas, maybe you could tell me, how's ppp started by ppp_enable="YES". I couldn't find it's literal invocation in /etc/rc.
Please help! Thanks!
