I haven't looked up what the problem to get it working was, but maybe it's got
something to do with PR#2554, its title is "pppd server mode from command line
is broken".
Other pppd related PRs are 2574, 2705 and 2728.
They can be looked up on NetBSD's WWW-server.

Btw, the problem I had when installing somebody's machine recently with a user
who can't su root although he's in group wheel (and I forgot to mention he is
*only* in wheel) is PR#792, known since 10.02.1995.
