When I installed ppp from the .deb file pppd was setuid root by default. I
had to add read permission for group (dip) to ppp.chatscript and
ppp.options_out so user accounts (members of group dip) could start pon. I
have been told that I could setup diald to autorun pon whenever I start
netscape (or any other program requesting internet access) and that this
should work with ip masq when a client on a windows box networked to the
linux machine does the same. I havn't tried this yet, but I will as soon
as I get the eithernet card installed in my windows machine and hook the
two together.
