In the 2nd comment of                                                            
                                                                                 
 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30805                                       
                                                                                 
you'll find a Gentoo user observing permission problems with   /etc/resolv.conf while using kppp. As 
kppp doesn't create that file (it          
just reads&writes) I see no way how it can be responsible for changing           
both owner and permissions of that file.                                         
As stated in my last comment I think that the if-up/if-down scripts I            
found to be potentially problematic. Depending on what they are supposed         
to do a chown and chmod call migh be in order to ensure the proper setup.        
                                                                                 
Please tell me about your opinion on where the problem really lies. If           
it's in kppp I'll try to fix it. If you can give a statement on possible         
improvements on your side I'll also be greatful to know. I'd like to close       
this report and probably update the kppp FAQ.

Please assign this to our ppp guy. 
For more info please read the kde.org bug referenced, starting at the 2nd comment. The 
problem appears to be in out ip-up/ip-down scripts. If it isn't, please add a comment to the 
kde.org bug saying so and the kppp dev will try to fix things at his end :-) 
Comment 2 Dan Armak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-04-20 05:40:11 UTC
This isn't a kde/kppp issue, please assign to whoever does ppp.

This will be fixed soon, when azarah rleases my changes on net.ppp0
