[followup of my previous post]
trying to figure out what was going on, it turns out that the line:
    pppdpid=`ps aul | awk '$4 ~ /^'"$daemonpid"'$/ {print $3}'`
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-ppp should be (here on my system at 
least, correct me if i'm wrong):
    pppdpid=`ps aulx | awk '$4 ~ /^'"$daemonpid"'$/ {print $3}'`
otherwise ps wil not report all processes including the ones that are not link 
to a TTY (right?) which is the case for processes started from tkgoodstuff 
when running xdm i guess... anyway, is this a bug? or is there a better way 
arround this. The above change works for me at least.
Regards.
