It *is* a silly message. It means that you have an existing default route
to a LAN and pppd now assumes that you are going to provide the peer with
access to the Internet, or at least access to the LAN, and should want to
require authentication.
I don't agree with the concept of tying a default route to a default pppd
authentication requirement. But a solution is to remove the existing
default route, a network-specific route works fine for a single LAN.
Alternately, you can add the pppd noauth option.
