There are no problems with local sockets and ppp. I've just checked
a RELENG_2_2 system built on September 1. Try running ppp in auto
mode with a "set server /my/local/socket" in the config (you don't
have to actually connect to anything), and then run "pppctl -p xxxx
/my/local/socket show ipcp".... works ok.
I'd suggest a rebuild of your system.
