As much as I'd LOVE to see pppd go into /sbin, there is something
prohibiting this.  It's called "pppd is a dynamically linked executable".
We _could_ link it statically, probably, but...

 * Is there really any reason not to put pppd into /sbin?  It seems like
 * the most appropriate place, to be with slattach, ifconfig, ipf even.
 * This would solve the existing problem without changing the mount
