Hmmm... something that irritates the heck outta me, is the fact that this is
a root only command by default. How do I fix this aside from changing the
ownership on all files associated? This is something I even had to change
under slackware with "ppp-go". In that case, all I did was change the
ownership to my regular user and it was fine but not secure (Not like anyone
can do much with it on my machine, but I like secure... secure is good).
