I need to set up a situation where I don't want to suid the pppd
binary, yet I want to allow one (and only one) specific user
(besides root) to be able to run pppd (in this case from a serial
terminal login).  And, apart from the user login, no passwords
should be needed to do it (which makes su and sudo unsuitable).

I've tried linuxconf and looked at pam, the stuff in /etc/security
(userhelper and friends) and other such things, but I can't seem to
find a solution.

Is there a way to do this?  If so, where can I tweak this to get the
magic happening that I want?

Thanks.

Cheers
Tony
