I suggested this a very long time ago and it was rejected on the
grounds that it's not necessary to create a ``standard'' hierarchy
under /var/run as ppp is generally run at most once or twice on a
given machine.
I believe putting these sockets in /var/run is perfectly fine and the
patch should not be applied.
