FC9: ADSL for non-root users

Hello everyone!

I've created an xDSL connection with system-config-network.

If I try to connect as non-root user with the command:
$ /sbin/ifup DSL
I got the error message:

--- [snip] ---
pppd does not exist or is not executable
ifup-ppp for ppp0 exiting
--- [/snip] ---

along with the SElinux error:

--- [snip] ---
SELinux is preventing ifup-ppp (usernetctl_t) "getattr" to /usr/sbin/pppd
(pppd_exec_t).
--- [/snip] ---

If instead I execute the same command as root or with sudo all works.

Note:
* in FC8 I was able to connect without root privileges
* Using the adsl-start got no error but has no effect (no connection
starts).

Any idea?

Thanks!!

Cheers,

--- Marco
