Yes it is easy. You must set the suid bit on the ppp script.
Also the IP addresses in /etc/resolve.conf must be set. I dont
know how to make a private version of this file, if different
users need different ip address name resolution. Make sure that
ppp has user or group x set.
I can use ppp as not root when I do these things.

1. run a non-root user's program from a non-root user
Hi Folks,
Here is the problem.
I have user A and user B (non-root users)
I need for user A to initiate a job as user B. How can this be done?
As you know, I can do this as root. I can start a process from root as
another user in the system (cron jobs come to my mind!) Is there a way
to do this for non-root users? I believe I need to be able to do
something like as user A
"su - B" without being prompted for password.
Appreciate suggestions in advance.
