I suspect you only need to make pppd suid root. It is the bloke that's
actually doing the work, I think.
FAIK ther is some widget you can select in linuxconf to do this, but I
don't do GUI. From the command line:
chown 0 /usr/sbin/pppd
chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd
(Or wherever pppd lives on your system. That is where mine is.)
Then be careful who has permission to execute pppd.
