Well this is definitely related, but there did not seem to be a final 
satisfactory solution unless I did not get the gist of the thread, and 
besides, it's not in Woody.

So far I have done the following, based on bug reports and workarounds:

1) Remove 'auth' from /etc/ppp/options
2) Add users to 'dialout' and 'dip' groups
3) SUID on pppd

(actually I haven't done 3 yet, but I will, and it seems more satisfactory 
to me, and remove SUID on kppp).

I am setting up dialup for someone else tonight, and I will do these three 
simple things because I cannot find a definitive statement on how to get 
kppp going on Debian 3.0 out of the box.  You have all been very helpful 
however with clues and pointers, and for making sure I don't do something 
*really* stupid.

Andy
