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

[Harald Sitter]

Perhaps the best option actually would be to manually craft a group
management system.

e.g. main.cpp:
- check if user is in dialout/dip
- if not present dialog allowing the user to added themself to dialout/dip
- polkit helper adds user to dialout/dip
- restart to apply group change

while that is a rather excessive approach it gives the best solution,
you do not need to sudo/suid kppp at all, the user gets informed that
stuff won't work and gets an option to fix this
