Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

When kppp is installed, both as a standalone application and as found in
kubuntu, it is launched with the standard user rights.

As a result, it cannot complete basic tasks like tuning the routing
table on connection/disconnection, updating the DNS resolver records
etc.

kppp should be launched as root by default, asking for the user's
password, otherwise it is not apparent to the new user why kppp can't
work properly (no "permission denied" messages)

** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
