After installing initscripts 68-1 for i386, I was unable to access kppd from the KDE environment. Turning on the 'Debug' mode, I got something like "Remote system required to authenticate itself, but I could not find a 'Secrets' file with a password which allows me to connect to IP" or some such similar. (Sorry I didn't write it down). I reverted to initscript 63-1 and the problem went away.
