FWIW, purgedir() was broken in 4.3-RELEASE. My MFC request fixing
this during the 4.3 code-slush was refused. 4.3 went out with a
broken cleaning of /var/run/ :(
I don't think the examples should be changed to say /var/run as
/var/run is only writable by root and ppp's diagnostic socket is
created with the privileges of the user that ran ppp.
If bind() maybe returned EADDRNOTAVAIL instead of EADDRINUSE for
stale socket files, maybe ppp could do something about this...
