The reason is simple: you have PPP version 2.3.7 in your kernel, probably
loaded as module - ppp.o. On Linux machines, ppp stuff is devided between
the kernel part and daemon part. These two parts may be different
versions. Redhat kernels always have older ppp.o modules then pppd. Look
closely at your logs, kernel part is logged with "kernel: PPP: ..." while
daemon part with "pppd[PID]: ..."
So everything is O.K., don't worry be happy.
