While you are at it, i would like to see an option to include/exclude
hosts from the management feature.  I'm sick of the `anyone in the
world' message, but don't feel better by adding secrets.  I think it
should by default only allow localhost to manipulate the daemon.

Alternatively, it should optionally create a local domain socket
instead of the internet domain socket.  However, this would prevent
you from using telnet as the client (so another invocation of ppp
itself had to take the client role).  The latter is probably a good
idea anyway.
