I think they may be a symlink to file that may be missing on your machine
To see if they are symlink, do on a console (-l is L lowercase)
ls -l /etc/ppp/*-secrets

If the files refered in the link (it could be the same real file for
chap-secrets and pap-secrets) does not exist, this command will say that to
you
cat /etc/ppp/*-secrets
If file(s) exist, you will see the content

Access to the secret file is usually restricted because it contain the
password. You may have to su root. I don't know for Ubuntu.
