Correct, there are no pppd(8) '/etc/ppp/options' examples anywhere in
the distribution nor can I find any traces that there have ever been
any. However, I don't see where it is actually said anywhere that they
should exist with this one exception from the manpage,
EXAMPLES
The following examples assume that the /etc/ppp/options
file contains the auth option (as in the default
/etc/ppp/options file in the ppp distribution).
I cannot find a default /etc/ppp/options in the pppd distribution or
any evidence there ever was one.
So to summarize, where in pppd(8) did you see it say that the
/etc/ppp/options exists before the user creates one? I think the only
fix might be to remove the parenthesized portion in the above
sentence.
