    Dear Jeff,

    Problem is not of permission.I have setup /usr/sbin/kppp as suid and
    ownership to dialout group comprising dialling users and root.Problem lien
    in the linking of /usr/bin/kppp to consolehelper which in turn would start
    /usr/sbin/kppp.Consolehelper is governed by authentication rules and
    nobody seems to know it fully here.

    Presentlu I have relinked /usr/bin/kppp to /usr/sbin/kppp and duplicated
    one and same setting for each user.But here I will miss consolidated
    connection log which I would get If I could share one connection among
    users.

    Thank you and all who participated to help me.
