+Subject: [PATCH] Revert lock path to /var/lock (#435)
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+lock dir changed on linux from /var/lock to /run/pppd/lock with
+pppd-2.5.0, which makes pppd fail to start if the distribution does not
+pre-create the directory.
+
+This reverts it back to /var/lock.
+
+The paths for other OS should be identical as LOCALSTATEDIR should be
+/var, but also revert them back as well just in case.
+Since the variable is no longer used remove it from makefiles.
+
+Fixes: 66a8c74c3f73 ("Let ./configure control the paths for pppd")
+Fixes: #419
