NAME
       pppoe-wrapper  -	 SUID  wrapper for starting and stopping PPPoE connec‐
       tions.

SYNOPSIS
       pppoe-wrapper start linkname

       pppoe-wrapper stop linkname

       pppoe-wrapper status linkname

DESCRIPTION
       pppoe-wrapper is a small SUID program which allows  non-root  users  to
       start and stop PPPoE links.  It operates as follows:

       o      First,  linkname	is  sanity-checked.   Too-long names and names
	      containing illegal characters are rejected.

       o      Second,  pppoe-wrapper   opens   the   file   /etc/ppp/rp-pppoe-
	      gui/linkname  for	 reading.   If	that file does not contain the
	      line:

			NONROOT=OK

	      then pppoe-wrapper fails.

       o      Otherwise, pppoe-wrapper runs pppoe-start, pppoe-stop or	pppoe-
	      status with the above filename as its single argument.
