No special tools necessary.  The setuid bit is just one of the normal file
"mode" bits used in *nix.  You see these modes when you do "ls -l".  You can
set the mode bits with the chmod command.

To set the setuid bit on the pppd binary, just:
chmod u+s pppd

If for some reason you have problems with this, you can run:
chmod 4755 pppd

to overwrite any existing permissions, and set the setuid bit in the
process.

You should end up with:
-rwsr-xr-x

as permissions when listed with ls -l...the "s" indicates user execute
permissions, with setuid.
