[Bug 1265301] Re: kppp doesn't need to run suid

[Harald Sitter]

Well, the debian change doesn't really fix the problem as it were. kppp
still needs to be able to launch pppd which it can't unless the user
manually gets added to the 'dip' group or the application is su'd. That
being said, perhaps the more appropriate approach would be to mandate
kdesudo, which in turn means the user needs to be in the admin/sudo
group (or the admin needs to twiddle sudoers accordingly), however since
that is the case for the default user it ought to give a somewhat better
default experience than simply not doing anything and a somewhat (not
really) more secure approach than suiding.

At the end of the day we get a shitty experience no matter what -.-
