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.

I recently posted a mail asking if anybody could guide me as to how to
share 'kppp' in fedora core1 with non-root users.It is a home PC shared by
members of the family.I would not share root password for fear of ignorant
actions affecting security/stability of system.Presently any non-root user
has to supply root password to connect(dial up ) to ISP.
have you tried to run: chmod 755 kppp ?
