I think the option you want in pppd's config file (or command line!) is
"login". That will have the side effect of authenticating against
/etc/passwd, but it also writes an entry to wtmp and utmp with the username
in.

You may want to comment out the /etc/passwd authentication routines in pppd,
depending on your needs.

Hope that helps,
