There was a long discussion of this in the archive, partly because
Redhat do it differently to everyone else.

Have you read that? http://www.dclug.org.uk/

My Redhat box has "root_ok" line in /etc/pam.d/kppp I'd try zapping that
(do back it up first), but IIRC the kppp executable is actually a
wrapper, take a closer look.

I don't kppp, but use the ifup/ifdown scripts, a bit fiddler to set up,
but allows greater flexibility.
