Since we're being picky....

In your arguments you keep ignoring the fact that a luser w/o privs
can't normally
   ifdown ppp0

And in any case, any admin who is setting up a multi-user system such
as you describe, and doesn't nitpick the configuration, versus
accepting whatever defaults the distro has, is being extremely
foolish, or if inexperienced, extremely ignorant.

And again, we're being picky.  Sounds like we agree on the important
stuff (since you like compromise).
