ppp help!

Hi

I have for the first time in a very long time found myself setting up dialup
internet access on a debain sarge box using kppp. I have it working when
logged on as root. When trying to log on as a user pppd dies (with very
little in the way of helpful information) right after about the time the
remote end is sending dynamically assigned ip address information after
successful user / pass negotiation. Its very likely to be a permissions
problem, what am I missing?

Thanks

K
