/var/log/ppp.log only contains lines like: 
Nov 15 23:53:15 MyHost /kernel: ppp configured!

Yes '#!/bin/sh' is on the top of the file.
I have also added the following lines to the script:

echo " ppp is up!!!"
echo " ppp is up!" >> ip-up.log

But no sign :-(

Same path, I've tried 0555 too, but no luck :-(
My owner is root:wheel, yours?
Are you using the "noauth" or "persist" pppd options too?

Thanks for the help
