To stop bpalogin from running type
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/bpalogin stop
To find out what version you have type
#rpm -q bpalogin
to remove it type
#rpm -e bpalogin-version-number ie #rpm -e bpalogin-0.1.3
you also may have to remove the e-smith stuff related to bpalogin if you have it
#rpm -q e-smith-bpalogin
then to remove that
#rpm -e e-smith-bpalogin-version-number

Not quite right... to remove a package, you simply provide the package name *without* version numbers... i.e. rpm -e bpalogin

That being the case, try the following command line...

rpm -qa | grep bpa

If that returns nothing, then the package has been uninstalled, but files have obviously been left hanging around.  All I can suggest is to try reinstalling the rpm and then removing it again.  If that fails, you'll need help from someone famaillar with that package.  (Since I'm on Bigpong ADSL, I don't need this package - stanard PPPoE works out of the box)
