-* The device name is now a privileged option, meaning a non-privileged
- user cannot specify the device name on the command line or in their
- .ppprc file.
+* Pppd now opens the tty device as the user (rather than as root) if
+ the device name was given by the user, i.e. on the command line or
+ in the ~/.ppprc file. If the device name was given in
+ /etc/ppp/options or in a file loaded with the `call' option, the
+ device is opened as root.
