I'm not sure why there was no report about it, but I had never been
using inet socket. I don't want to open inet socket for controlling
ppp(8) for security reason, and I used to to use just unix domain
socket to control ppp(8).

It is for an IPv6-to-IPv4 TCP relay. I think that most of the people
are not using it, actually. So, it shouldn't be a problem.
