read the PPP-HOWTO all is explaned there.
(the command you need is chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd)
maybe you should also read some UNIX book to understand how the user and
group rights are granted.

Subject: setuid problem
Hi,
I need to be able to start my ppp dialup from a non-root user account.
When I run start-ppp as a user I get "must be root to run pppd since not
setuid-root.
What does this mean? And, how can I set it up so a user can run the
dialer?
thanks,
Jamie Faunt
