Subject: Kernel ppp (pppd) newer than ver 2.3.5 in -STABLE

-STABLE Subject: Kernel ppp (pppd) version 2.3.5 --> 2.3.8
(Slightly edited from original sent to -stable...)

What is the "status" of pppd more recent than 2.3.5 (2.3.8, for
example) making it into -STABLE (RELENG_3)?  I've also noticed a
2.3.9 rev now in beta.

Not a show-stopper, but I get a strange "received bad
configure-nak/rej" (at LOG_ERR level while trying to negotiate
CCP) every time I connect.  I do not get this behavior under
Linux (Slackware 4.0/kernel 2.2.10/pppd-2.3.7) & I don't recall
getting it under Linux with previous versions of pppd going back
as far as 2.3.5 & 2.2.0f.  IIRC the Linux version "properly"
rejects the CCP negotiation(s) it doesn't like...  :)

According to the pppd-2.3.8 sources, it has been updated for
FreeBSD 3.0 (& 3.1?).  I suppose I could install it "manually"
but I'm not (yet) keen on messing with the source tree,
especially that of the kernel (ie. I don't want to mess-up the
cvsup procedure).  It also appears that there are differences
between the kernel portions in the kernel source tree & those in
pppd-2.3.8 (some are "older," some "newer").  Interesting...

Is this worth filing a pr?

Thanks,

-kc
