This is not possible if ppp is in interactive mode. The word none instructs ppp to close ---- any existing socket. If you wish to specify a unix domain socket, LocalName must be specified as an absolute file name, otherwise it --------- is assumed to be the name or number of a TCP port. You may specify the octal umask that should be used with unix domain sockets as a four character octal number beginning with `0'. Refer to umask(2) for umask details. Refer to services(5) for details of how to translate TCP port names. You may also specify the password that must be used by the client when connecting to this socket. If the password is not specified here, /etc/ppp/ppp.secret is searched for a machine name that's the ------------------- same as your local host name without any domain suffix. Refer to hostname(1) for further details. If a password is specified as the empty string, no password is required. When using ppp with a server socket, the pppctl(8) command is the preferred mechanism of communications. Currently, telnet(1) can also be used, but link encryption may be implemented in the future, so telnet(1) should not be relied upon.
