--- Comment #3 from Don Lewis <truck...@freebsd.org> ---
/usr/sbin/ppp is in group network so that only users in group network can run
it (it has not access permission for other).
/var/run/ppp and /var/log/ppp.log are probably in group network so that only
users in that group can look at them. They might contain sensitive
information. These files don't give permission to other.
The group ownership of /etc/ppp doesn't matter since it is mode 755. Anyone
can ls that directory regardless of what groups they belong to since its
contents are not sensitive.
The group ownership of /etc/ppp/ppp.conf doesn't matter since its permissions
are 600. Nobody other than root can read it, no matter what its group might be
set to.
Basically, group ownership only matters when the group perms != other perms.
One thing that is a bit strange is why /usr/sbin/ppp gives read access to
other.
