Put your users in the 'dip' group and set the permissions and ownership of
/etc/chatscripts thusly:
drwx--x--- root dip /etc

But this is strange. pppd is setuid root. So it should be able to
read any file, right?
/etc/chatscripts/provider is read by chat, not pppd. pppd forks and exec's
chat via these lines:
setuid(getuid());

gtop shows root as owner and still I can signal it.
You are still the real user.

Doesn't for me. Note, however, that 'pppd file /etc/ppp/peers/provider' is

options in provider.

From what I understand from the man pages, doc's etc. I can have all my

The options file can be empty, but it must exist if any user other than
root is to use pppd.
Figures it would be something small like that.

When I do this, pppd starts and begins sending LCP packages.

No, but your provider file does not include everything needed to make a
dialup connection: some stuff is assumed to be in the options file.
I still would like to know what became of your options file, though. Could
it have been destroyed by wmpp?
