I lost track of the person ( Parameshwar ),who posed the question about kpp for users.The solution is to edit the file : /etc/pam.d/kppp and change the following line > auth sufficient pam_rootok.so The above line allows only root to run kppp.Change to auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_permit.so ON my FC1 system this works.Try out.
