How I am sharing kppp among mortal users

[Parameshwara Bhat]

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.
