Look good, however let me add my 2 cents. Can the "pppoectl" argument
keywords be changed as follows?
hisauthproto => peerauthproto
hisauthname => peerauthname
hisauthsecret => peerauthsecret
since "peer" is a more accurate term that is commonly used with PPP,
then that "his" term, and after all not all of us are guys.
