I can only report what happened in a long sleepless night:
I had a working setup with pon/poff for user xy.  But pppd invoked with
identical settings except dialnr/user/passwd did not work for user xy.
Shortly before getting cracy I copied the user/passwd to chap/pap-secrets and
suddenly kppp start working.

That was first time usage of kppp after almost 1.5 years so I can't tell
if this is a new problem (or just me doing something wrong).
