Depends on how paranoid you are.  I have /etc/chatscripts and its contents,
/etc/ppp, and /etc/ppp/peers and its contents root:dip.  /etc/chatscripts,
/etc/ppp, and /etc/ppp/peers are group searchable but not readable.  Those
provider files in /etc/chatscripts and /etc/ppp/peers that are to be usable
by members of the dip group are group readable.  All the files in /etc/ppp
are root:root.
