Dear Jeff,
Problem is not of permission.I have setup /usr/sbin/kppp as suid and
ownership to dialout group comprising dialling users and root.Problem lien
in the linking of /usr/bin/kppp to consolehelper which in turn would start
/usr/sbin/kppp.Consolehelper is governed by authentication rules and
nobody seems to know it fully here.
Presentlu I have relinked /usr/bin/kppp to /usr/sbin/kppp and duplicated
one and same setting for each user.But here I will miss consolidated
connection log which I would get If I could share one connection among
users.
Thank you and all who participated to help me.
