Looks like harmless end ( terminating ) and startup entries for two days' session from syslogd, who channels the logs.

Whenever you start a gnome application, even without a gnome session, gconf looks if if there's something to do. Here resolving some internal addresses. Job's done, so exits.

Always the same. pppd is your point-to-point-protocol daemon which connects you to your provider. It exits when you terminate the connection.
