What he meant (I hope :) is that you should set teh permissions as 4755 - ie.
set the suid bit - for pppd. My way of working it is to do that then also
set the ownership of the various files to root.ericr (I'm using redhat which
sets a group for each user) so that only I or those I place in teh correct
group can use pppd. Of course you don't need to be this restrictive if you
aren't a control-freak like me :)
