Of course.  A new plog would also present only the relevant information and
do it in a more intelligible form.

/etc/chatscripts/provider only has a password in it if you are using login

A single chmod and you've got it on your system.  If you want to see it as
the Debian default file a bug against ppp.  I don't think you'll convince
