All:

I'm not sure if this issue has been addressed yet, but following the 2.2.5 to
2.2.6/7 upgrade, my dialup PPP stopped working.  This seems to be related to
the new group 'network' assigned to ppp. 

Since I'm using 'getty' for dialup ppp, my configuration invokes `ppp -direct'.
This does not run as Joe-Low-Privlege-User, so I changed the permissions for
"/usr/sbin/ppp".

before: -r-sr-x---  1 root  network  143360 Feb 25  1998 /usr/sbin/ppp
---
after:  -r-sr-xr-x  1 root  network  143360 Feb 25  1998 /usr/sbin/ppp 

This may introduce some security problems.  Any suggestions?
