I follow the instructions in the ppp section of the handbook (to the
letters) trying to give my user ppp access.

And this is what freebsd told me: 

"You may only run ppp in client mode as user id 0"

I did add myself to the network group and two lines were added to
ppp.conf as me:

me:
 set ifaddr 206.14.149.35 206.14.149.33 206.14.149.32
 enable proxy


I have reserved 3 tun devices.  The system connects to internet through
tun0 as a root ppp process.  Can anyone give a pointer?
