Have a look at "man pppoe.conf" Probably the 2 parameters of interest to
you are:
USERCTL
If the line USERCTL=yes (exactly like that; no
whitespace or comments) appears in the configura
tion file, then /sbin/ifup will allow non-root
users to bring the conneciton up or down.
PEERDNS
If set to "yes", then adsl-connect will supply the
usepeerdns option to pppd, which causes it to
obtain DNS server addresses from the peer and cre
ate a new /etc/resolv.conf file. Otherwise, adsl-
connect will not supply this option, and pppd will
not modify /etc/resolv.conf.
