Hi there.

There is something wrong in my kpp configuration. It refuses to be runned by 
a normal user. When I try (as a user) to run it, it crashes:

The terminal shows:
  KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2
  KCrash: Application Name = kppp path = <unknown>

And a dialog box shows:
  The KPPP application failed with signal 11 (SIGSEGV)


The only way to run it is to be root or be su'ed as root. I modified the kppp 
icon on my desktop from "kppp" to "kdesu kppp" and works fine. But my 
question is: should it be so? Must I be root to run kppp? I don't feel 
comfortable running it su'ed as root (can it be a security hole?).

By the way, the file permissions are
  -rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root       892184 oct 17 11:50 /usr/bin/kppp* 

Thanks for your help.
