Thank you for the code. As I understand it, I would make the executable owned by root.ppp, make its permissions 4750, and add the relevant users to group ppp? Forgive my ignorance, but when pppd starts the shell to execute /etc/ppp/ppp-connect, will the shell have my or root's uid? i.e. does your programme get around the permissions problem on /etc/ppp/ppp-connect? Also, it is not clear to me whether it would be best to release this as an add-on to the ppp package, to include it in the ppp package, or to otherwise modify that package to obtain the same result, e.g. by moving pppd to /usr/bin, making it root.ppp and 4750. Still the problem with /etc/ppp/ppp-connect of course. Regards Philip
