Doesn't PPP now have some sort of "allow users [bleah]" mode?  Inless I'm
missing the point, this was in -current for a while and just recently
merged into -stable.

That's what I'm using.  I run ppp -background as a non-root type all the
time, using the above sort of thing.  If that's a huge gateway to my
system, I suppose I'd like to know about it...
