Just had a call from a neighbour who bought Mandrake 9.0; the good
news is that they got it installed ok, but on trying to connect
to the internet, they selected the menu item for PPP (Gnome desktop)
and were greeted with the message saying they did not have
permission to connect.

This is probably because pppd is not suid, so one potential fix
is to guide them through su and setting that one file, but is this
the recommended fix?  At the very least, this requiring a su
intervention seems a bug in Mdk 9.0.
