Actually... what is wrong with the below - directly cut'n'pasted from the third bullet item in the GETTING STARTED section of http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dppp&apropos=3D0&sektion=3D8&manp= ath=3DFreeBSD+5.0-current&format=3Dhtml Make sure that your system has a group named ``network'' in the /etc/group file and that the group contains the names of all users expected to use ppp. Refer to the group(5) manual page for details. Each of these users must also be given access using the ``allow users'' command in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.
