Nope, it didn't :(

Now I am a member of the these groups also: cdrom audio dip

Here is what I get now:

{tmp}> pon dsl-provider
/usr/sbin/pppd: Can't open options file /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider: 
Permission denied
{tmp}> ls -l /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider
-rw-------    1 root     root         1813 Nov 14 01:12 
/etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider

Am I supposed to change thepermission fo the above file manually?
