I used to be able to dial-up a ppp connection as my user but now can
only start ppp as root.
I've read through the HOW-TO and also, it *used* to work :-(
As far as I can see the permissions are right but the system tells me
not. It's telling me that pppd is not setuid but it is.
I am using pon/poff with pppconfig.
Can anyone give a pointer as to what else to check?

$ pon Bigpond
/usr/sbin/pppd: must be root to run /usr/sbin/pppd, since it is not
setuid-root
