I suggested this a very long time ago and it was rejected on the 
grounds that it's not necessary to create a ``standard'' hierarchy 
under /var/run as ppp is generally run at most once or twice on a 
given machine.

I believe putting these sockets in /var/run is perfectly fine and the 
patch should not be applied.
