Hi people,

I'm trying to get user ppp working for users other than root. It works
fine for root. I've added
  allow user foo
to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf in the appropriate section and added user foo to
group network, but I'm getting this error message:

  No tunnel device is available (Permission denied)

Playing with tun0's permissions didn't work. I'm using 3.0-RELEASE.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
Mike.
