Disables the default behaviour when no local IP address is spec-
ified, which is to determine (if possible) the local IP address
from the hostname. With this option, the peer will have to sup-
ply the local IP address during IPCP negotiation (unless it
specified explicitly on the command line or in an options file).
I have a local IP address specified explicitly in an options file so
that doesn't seem relevant. In addition, that command line work when
issued by the root user.
