Create group (say 'ppp', 'pppd' or something), put there all users you
want to allow to use pppd. Then chown pppd daemon to root.pppd (or
group name you choose) and disallow pppd for others (pppd -r-sr-x---).
Then all users from group pppd can use pppd, others not.
That's described in PPP-HOWTO (11.Using PPP and root privileges)
