I have a quick question. How can i make it so a normal user can run ppp to connect to the internet. PPP will only run as root, for security reasons I'm sure. But I would like to make is so one of my user accounts can do it without root access. If that isn't possible is easy to write a script that will su root then run the ppp ?

Thanks for any information you can give me.
