It's nothing new to Linux. It's called the sticky bit. It has differing
(well, AFAIK, adding the sticky bit is chmod +t /file) The correct one for /usr/sbin/pppd is probably: chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd or chmod 4755 /usr/sbin/pppd (chmod +s /usr/sbin/pppd does do the u+s _and_ g+s ...) If /dev/modem exists, also a chmod 666 /dev/modem is 'needed' .. Furthermore, add the files in /etc/ppp/ in a seperate group and that should be it...
