Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.2+20040428-6
Severity: minor

Hi,

just wanted to let you know that if i use /var/log/syslog to store
the pppd log messages, plog won't work anymore, due to this line:

   exec tail "$@" /var/log/syslog | grep ...

Reason is that tail might not print any relevant lines, imho the
line should read:

   args="-n 20"
   test "$#" -ne 0 && args="$@"
   exec grep ' \(pppd\|chat\)\[' /var/log/syslog | tail $args

just my ¤ 0,02.

Thank you for your work.
