Oops! I stand corrected. Sorry about that.
I am also using the ppp-2.3.8-1 RPM, but on a dial-in 2.0.x system.
Obviously, I haven't watched the pid files, but I haven't had any
other problems, either.
I will note that I had some printing problems upgrading a 5.2 system
(actually, Mandrake 5.3) to the 2.2 kernels, even after updating
conf.modules for the 2.2 changes. They went away when I did a completely
new installation with Mandrake 6.0. Seemed better than leaving legacy
code around to cause problems later.
