Sorry about that... My problems with ppp are resolved. I'm not sure it is
a very secure way however, but it's got to be enough. I added the user to
ppp.conf and I changed the permissions on /var/run/ to look like:
drwxrwxr-x   4 root      bin      512 Jul 11 22:42 ./
because the user is in the bin group, it can create the appropriate
socket...

Thanks!
