Description

gnome-ppp is a utility to assist users to connect to the internet. It provides a complete replacement for the chat scripting program, and uses the standard pppd daemon to establish a pppd connection.

Although gnome-ppp attempts to make configuring a PPP connection as easy as possible, there are still several files that need to be edited as superuser (root) for gnome-ppp to work properly. gnome-ppp itself is not a set-user-id program, nor does it have any helper programs that pose any security risk. gnome-ppp uses the permissions of the /usr/sbin/pppd program, which the user of gnome-ppp must have permission to execute.
