Subject: bin/4168: Request for init to handle pppd

>Description:
	/sbin/init can't handle spawning a pppd process because it wants to
	add the tty name at the end.  I've been running a modified /sbin/init
	for over a year spawning pppd with several /etc/ttys entries like

	tty01   "/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/tty01 115200 -detach"      unknown on

	pppd wants the tty as a first argument.


If that didn't change recently it is wrong.

tty00   "/usr/sbin/pppd -detach 38400"  unknown on insecure rtscts

works perfectly for me.
