I wanted to setup pon so that any user can use it who is in a secific
group.  I set the group up and set permissions, but when I try to run
/usr/sbrin/pppd, I get this message:
/usr/sbin/pppd: must be root to run /usr/sbin/pppd, since it is not
setuid-root

I looked at the man page for setuid and seteuid and they warn about losing
root privledges.  Can anyone give me some help on using setuid?
