	it looks to me that the default setting for pppd is changed somewhere
	in pppd master distribution development, and old configuration without
	explicit "noauth" chokes.  the easiest way to update configuration
	file is to put "noauth" in /etc/ppp/options.  maybe we should document
	the change somewhere, and/or put sample /etc/ppp/* somewhere.
