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. -- Crist J.
