I don't like that. 'net' is far too general. A group name like 'net'

I use the 'proxyarp' option, and it seems to work just fine. No need
to set up routes if the PPP address is on the same subnet as the rest
of your equipment.

I'm configuring a fresh install of 1.1. I can only start pppd as root.
I found that /etc/ppp had permisions of 700. After changing that it
still can only be run as root. Comparing strace output shows that
it may be failing doing an ioctl on /dev/ttyp0. Changing the permissions
of this tty to 666
