I don't know why everyone else needs this. I'm using AutoPPP. I don't
want everyone on my system to have ppp, and this is my conffile:
[snip]
# INBOUND connections
# Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd
#* mystic ""
user1 * "" *
user2 * "" *
user3 * "" *
user4 * "" *
user5 * "" *
# UserIDs that cannot use PPP at all. Check your /etc/passwd and add any
# other accounts that should not be able to use pppd!
#guest mystic "*" -
#master mystic "*" -
#root mystic "*" -
#support mystic "*" -
#stats mystic "*" -
