Dial to the Internet as User

[Horace <hgf3 skyinet net>]

Hi,

I have configured chat and pppd and created a dialing script and a hangup
script. I  have actually connected to the internet and hangup from it --
as root. I can't do it as an ordinary user. Everytime I ran the dialing
script I get a msg that "only root can run or use pppd because setuid for
root is not set".

Btw, I have tried dialing as a regular user by su-ing to root then back
and then back again to su to hangup. 

For my attempt to fix it, here's what I did: 
login as root
chmod 4755 /usr/sbin/pppd
chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/dialscript /usr/local/bin/hangup

this didn't work so i tried:

chown root:pppusers /usr/sbin/pppd
chown root:pppusers /usr/local/bin/dialscript /usr/local/bin/hangup

still did not work. I already have a pppusers group in my system.

Can anyone tell me how can I fix this so that I can dial and hangup as an
ordinary user?

As always, THANKS.
