Does this line exist in /etc/mgetty/login.config?

/AutoPPP/ -     -   /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login

Also, what are the permissions on pppd?

(ls -l /usr/sbin/pppd)

Do these lines exist in /etc/ppp/options?

# Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd
*       live    ""

Your hostname should be where it says "live" above.
