It's configured by ijppp itself.  tun0 is just an arbitrary tunnel, and
as such is really best managed directly by the ppp client (in this case,
/usr/sbin/ppp).

Putting it in sysconfig is usually a no-op, unless you have it
configured such that all your packets want to go to down a tunnel that
isn't going anywhere until ppp is run.  I'd take it out.
