File Privileges

The following configuration files are privileged regardless of their ownership:

• /etc/ppp/options

• /etc/ppp/options.ttyname

• /etc/ppp/peers/peer-name

The file $HOME/.ppprc is owned by the user. Options that are read from $HOME/.ppprc and from the command line are privileged only if the user who is invoking pppd is root.

Arguments that follow the file option are privileged.
