I have follow the SUSE manual, create a ppp user with a login shell point to a
script as below

# /bin/sh
#
#/etc/ppp/ppplogin
#
exec /usr/sbin/pppd modem passive 172.16.2.10:172.16.2.20

and modified the /etc/inittab file to add in

mo:23:respawn: /usr/sbin/mgetty -s 38400 modem

but when I try to login with this user,
I encounter the error message below

/usr/sbin/pppd : must be root to run /usr/sbin/pppd
since it is not setuid -root

Anyone know how can I resolve this ?

Thank a lot
