The correct way is to put the desired settings in 
/etc/permissions.local, which will survive upgrades, etc.  AFTER adding 
it, run SuSEconfig.  Now you are done.  No need for boot.local or cron.  
Even if you replace the ppp package, since Yast (and you if done 
manually) will automatically run SuSEconfig which will correct any 
permissions problem.  A reboot should not change permissions.  A 
SuSEconfig run, say after an install, etc., may change the permissions, 
which is what I suspect.  Try it.  I have the following in my 
permissions.local for kppp to work and I use it every day, updated KDE 
every version from the original 3.1.1 to the present 3.2 (on 8.2), and 
have not needed to change anything else.
/usr/sbin/pppd        root.dialout    4755
