Title:
  pppd: unrecognized option 'lock'

Status in ppp package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ppp

  
  Description:    Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
  Release:        10.04

  Linux unlin 2.6.32-25-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 1 09:46:13 UTC
  2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    Installed: 2.4.5~git20081126t100229-0ubuntu3
    Candidate: 2.4.5~git20081126t100229-0ubuntu3
    Version table:
   *** 2.4.5~git20081126t100229-0ubuntu3 0

  My DSL connection fails to start because of network-manager call pppd with lock option.
  Here is a command that network-manager uses to connect:

   /usr/sbin/pppd nodetach lock nodefaultroute user log@xxxxxxxxxx
  plugin rp-pppoe.so nic-eth0 noauth refuse-eap refuse-chap refuse-
  mschap refuse-mschap-v2 nobsdcomp nodeflate usepeerdns mru 1492 mtu
  1492 lcp-echo-failure 5 lcp-echo-interval 30 ipparam
  /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/PPP/6 plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.4/nm-
  pppd-plugin.so

   It looks like pppd does not configured with lock support. According to man pppd:
         lock   Specifies  that  pppd  should create a UUCP-style lock file for the serial device to ensure exclusive access to the device.  By
                default, pppd will not create a lock file.

  I think pppd should support this option.
  Please let me know if you need additional info.
