Subject: pppd won't work from init?

Trying to get a few pppd's started by init, I noticed that the chat script
always fails (I'm not sure if it runs at all, pppd just reports the connect
script failed).  With the same config files, pppd works just fine when run
manually or from /etc/rc.local.  I wanted to use init to keep the pppd's
running at all times, but it doesn't seem to be possible.. am I doing
something wrong here?

This is with a 1.3.1 kernel, BTW.

(After I get this working, I'll try hacking pppd to use a radius server
for authentication...)
