Sigh... This isn't a request for help (I already tracked down and shot the bug) but pppd on RedHat 7.x and 8.0 (haven't checked the 8.1 beta yet) did not get compiled with IPv6 enabled. Found out the hard way when pppd didn't like the ipv6 option in the config file. The man pages for pppd describe all the ipv6 options but the patches in the rpm didn't uncomment the "HAVE_INET6=1" line in pppd/Makefile.
Modifying the "make" patch and rebuilding the rpm corrected the problem. Someone from RedHat on this list want to let someone know to fix that build? Mike -- Michael H.
