I don't know anything about kppprc but it is highly likey it is just a control program to setup and drive pppd in which case it is equally likely that the /etc/ppp files are indeed used. In particular look at /etc/ppp/chap-secrets. Certainly the kppp documentation must provide some clue. Mike -- Greedo shoots first?
