Summary:                    DAHDIRAS fails to properly initiate pppd unless
asterisk is running as root
Description: 
Unless asterisk is running as root (and invoking pppd as such) pppd will
fail with:


I work around this by commenting out lines 122 + 123 in
apps/app_dahdiras.c from asterisk-1.6.2.11, specifically, these two lines:

    argv[argc++] = "plugin";
    argv[argc++] = "dahdi.so";

And then passing DAHDIRAS(call,ras) where /etc/ppp/peers/ras contains:

plugin dahdi.so

along with my other pppd options.
