As a pppd(8) user, what is your opinion on losing the pppd(8) files in
/etc/ppp? Are they of any real use? IMHO, we should either (a) just
remove ppp.deny and ppp.shells.sample /etc/ppp or (b) remove those two
from /etc/ppp and put them in /usr/share/examples/pppd with a full set
of pppd(8) examples. Since I don't have files or the expertise to come
up with examples for (b), I'd need the help of someone who knows
pppd(8) to do it.
