At about the same time as the group ownership change, I became unable to
run PPP except as root.

Even though the binary had the setuid bit set, was group executable, and
belonged to root:network, and my user account belonged to group network,
whenever I tried to run it it said it could only be used in client mode by
uid 0.

I've been working around this by su'ing before launching PPP, but I wonder
if there's a better fix.
