That was pretty obvious, but my problem was elsewhere: the
CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC in newer (2.2.x) kernels. Apparently if pppd is
invoked without a /bin/sh ancestor (which is the case f.i. if you set
pppd itself as the login shell for dialin users) and the kernel was
compiled without this option, the scripts are not run. HTH. :-)
As for my other question, related to accounting, Acua looks pretty
impressive.
