Whoops! I grepped the wrong things obviously. But the peer files
are only used with the pppd call option so we don't care about
them.

Yes...

That's the problem. They aren't *necessarily* global options.
Any neat-o setup that makes them global should document
what it has done, make it clear what it has done at the time
it did it, and allow the user to change what it does.
Either that or they should ship with a prominent disclaimer
stating that the distribution has been designed to function
in only a limited subset of the full range of possibilities,
and that these limits are not necessarily documented :-).
