Subject: pppd: Remove the UID check to allow running as a non-root user.
X-Git-Tag: android-x86-2.2~8^2
X-Git-Url: http://git.osdn.net/view?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dffa18062629fab18e536d21fe5f8b8f07c7e991;p=android-x86%2Fexternal-ppp.git

pppd: Remove the UID check to allow running as a non-root user.

It is safe because it will not work without proper capabilities.
Allowing privileged options is also safe for the same reason.
