 118 -rwsr-xr--   1 root     dip        119004 Apr  5 06:40 /usr/sbin/pppd*
{root@brian}{~}[141]>ls -dl /etc/ppp
   1 drwxr-x---   6 root     dip          1024 May 27 08:28 /etc/ppp/
{root@brian}{~}[142]>ls -dl /etc/ppp/options
   1 -rw-r-----   1 root     dip           22 Apr 29 21:25 /etc/ppp/options
{root@brian}{ppp}[155]>ls -dl /etc/ppp/peers
   1 drwxr-x---   2 root     dip          1024 May 17 16:59 /etc/ppp/peers/
{root@brian}{~}[143]>ls -l /etc/ppp/peers/provider
   1 -rw-r-----   1 root     dip           682 Mar  4 08:29 /etc/ppp/peers/provider
{root@brian}{~}[144]>ls -dl /etc/chatscripts
