First, I'd make certain that the "mymldata" file is in the current
directory when pppd is executing the command in the script - when
/etc/ppp/ip-up is executed, the environment is cleared and the current
working directory is anyone's guess. So, I'd suggest doing a "cd" to
the directory containing mymldata in the line above the one that
depends on it. You may also find it necessary to set the "HOME"
environment variable, if the mlddc script reads any configuration
files from a user's home directory.
