Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdebase
When kppp is installed, both as a standalone application and as found in kubuntu, it is launched with the standard user rights.
As a result, it cannot complete basic tasks like tuning the routing table on connection/
kppp should be launched as root by default, asking for the user's password, otherwise it is not apparent to the new user why kppp can't work properly (no "permission denied" messages)

Hello Mr. Papadopoulos,
It has been quite some time since a response, and I would like to know if you are still experiencing this issue or if it has resolved itself in more recent versions of the affected software so that we may adequately route this bug.
