Yeah. It always was setuid, and Peter obviously didn't want to change it. -stable is not the place to introduce changes, you know. If you think that the permissions are wrong, let's discuss it on some mailing such as -security or -current, first. Or fill a PR. I don't have strong opinion on this, I just fixed a -stable breakage. > So why is pppd setuid? To allow non-root users to dial out, I think. Perhaps, to allow non-root users to dial in.
