Are you using kppp?  If so, make sure it is suid and is owned by root. 

ls -l $KDEDIR/bin/kppp

-rwsr-xr-x   1 root     root       409416 May  1 14:51 /opt/kde/bin/kppp

This is the default setting so I don't know why it should have changed.

If you are not using kppp then set pppd to suid

chmod u+s  /usr/sbin/pppd
