hi

the problem is that pppd needs to install a network device.
that means that it need root access.

you can try this:

chmod +s /<path to pppd>/pppd

so, the pppd run as root. this means that every user can execute it and
it get run as root.

BUT ATTENTION!
this can be a security hole.
If I can remember corectly, there is another solution in the PPP howto.
