There's no difference between variants of U*ix. Free/Open/NetBSD and even 
Linux use the same pppd which always creates ppp?.pid files in /var/run.
So above case statement should't be there. And, even if pppd is allowed 
to write to /etc/ppp, it's a wrong idea to create temporary files in the
directory in which configuration files are placed.
