My permissions are:

	lazlo:~$ ll /usr/sbin/ppp*
	-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        27309 Jun 12 22:40 /usr/sbin/pppconfig
	-rwsr-xr--   1 root     dip        105884 Jun 19 02:59 /usr/sbin/pppd
	-rwsr-xr--   1 root     dip        105532 Jun 19 02:59 /usr/sbin/pppd.ppp-pam
	-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root         8688 Jun 19 02:59 /usr/sbin/pppstats

	lazlo:~$ ll /usr/bin/pon
	-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     dip            45 Jun 19 02:58 /usr/bin/pon
	-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     dip          1511 Jun 19 02:58 /usr/bin/poff

What I did was (as root):

	1.- chgrp dip /usr/bin/pon
	    chgrp dip /usr/bin/poff
		
	2.- adduser rafacm dip

Hope it helps!
