FWIW: I installed kppp on a host running KDE 2.2.2 and there kppp is
setuid root and setgid dip
chandra(0) ~ # l /usr/bin/kppp
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 447528 Jan 6 16:12 /usr/bin/kppp
chandra(0) ~ # dpkg -l kppp | tail -1
ii kppp 2.2.2-14.6 PPP dialer for KDE
chandra(0) ~ #
On 3.1 it's only setgid dip
lapmara[0] ~ # l /usr/bin/kppp
-rwxr-sr-- 1 root dip 416648 Jan 19 17:43 /usr/bin/kppp
lapmara[0] ~ # dpkg -l kppp | tail -1
ii kppp 3.1.0-0woody2 KDE dialer and frontend to pppd
I have no analog modem at hand now to test if this fixes the problem.

I added to /etc/syslog.conf
local2.* -/var/log/syslog.ppp
chgrp dip /var/log/syslog.ppp
Strange is: now all files are group adm again. Maybe one has to tweek syslog a
bit
more so group dip is also used for new files.
But having acces to pppd messages in /var/log is not really necessary. It's
just
nice to get a grep ppd with a single click ;)

Didn't 'usepeerdns' help?

Once upon a time it was easier :(

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
