You have to put normal user into the group for pppd. I don't know which group it is, but I suppose it is dip. Do: adduser nameofuser dip Maybe it is group dialout, see to what group belongs the pppd with ls -l /usr/sbin/ppp* Sincerely, Marko Cehaja

I assume you're using a dial-up connection? How are you connecting? Chat script? kppp? The easiest way is to install a dialler like kppp, and set the UID bit so it runs as root. Alternatively you can write a binary wrapper for a chat script and SUID on it, but be careful with SUID with respect to security.
