Do you know that many pppd options cannot be given on the command line by
non-root users?

The dialout group has little to do with ppp. When the device name comes
from a privileged source (as it should) pppd opens
I guess I could just use sudo. After trying that, it seems to be
easier than getting all the permissions correct for the dialout
group. For example, the /etc/ppp/options and /etc/ppp/peers/* files
are gid dip. That doesn't seem to jive very well with the "dialout"
group.

Hi,
I've added myself to the dialout group, but I still get a "permission
denied" when I try to run /usr/bin/pon (which works fine when I'm
root, btw). What am I forgetting? I want to be able to run this as
a user.
Also, could someone explain why /usr/sbin/pppd is in the d

That or a bug. What are you running?

Hi,
I was just noticing that the groupname for /usr/sbin/pppd is dip.
But, as I look in /etc/group, there is no "dip" group listed, only a
"dialout" group. Is this an oversight? Should I chgrp the
/usr/sbin/pppd* stuff to the "dialout" group?
