I have a patched source RPM at
ftp.solucorp.qc.ca/pub/misc/ppp-2.3.3-4pap.src.rpm
The problem is this. In pppd, there is a function called logwtmp which log
in both wtmp and utmp. Unfortunatly, in glibc there is now a standard
logwtmp function, which log only to wtmp, not utmp. The programmer who
ported to glibc was fooled by that and simply commented out the original
logwtmp function of pppd (in sys-linux.c) in favor of the glibc function.
By doing so, he loose half of the functionality.
In the src rpm, you will find my patch for this called
ppp-2.3.3-pap.patch. I guess it apply to ppp 2.3.5 as well
