It seems like most ppp interface programs expect ppp-on and ppp-off or
up/down to be around.  Since I assume this can be just like
/etc/init.d/ppp start|stop, would it be bad for me to create a C
wrapper program (suid root) to call start-stop-deamon on pppd?  What
things do I have to watch out for?  I would expect that this would be
like dip, suid root, group dip or ppp, and mode 750.
