Bug#126406: kppp: Alternative for using noauth as suggested by README
Package: kppp
Version: 4:3.1.5-1
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #126406
as the original bug reporter says, /usr/share/doc/kppp/README.Debian
gives the very questionable advice to set "noauth" in /etc/ppp/options
I found a different solution to make kppp work: add the following to
/usr/share/doc/kppp/README.Debian
privgroup dip
And put the people in dip that should be able to use kppp.
w.r.t. to security this is better, but not optimal, of course
