Hello Damon,
My personal impression it is because of pppd. I was able to launch pppd as a
particular user in RH5.0, but after RH5.1 installation with pppd 2.3.3 this
stopped work. Sticky bit does not help, and according to man only root has
full control over pppd, while particular users have only limited capabilities.
I would appreciate if anybody will suggest how to change this behavior. So far
I enter root password every time I start connection (fortunately, it is same
as my password :)
Best regards,
Maxim
