I downloaded from BL3 add-ons passwd.tgz and pkg'ed it.
adduser user
password (Enter key, twice)

chmod 777 /dev/ttyS1 - makes it rw for user and group

chmod +s rxvt, startx, Xvesa and pppd - gives root SUID privileges to user 
to run these programs needed for dialing and x.

eznet is already x for user

Inserted slhc and ppp modules as root.

eznet up 0

/usr/sbin/pppd:  By default the remote system is required to authenticate 
itself
(because this system has a default route to the internet)
but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.

pppd
-sh: pppd: not found

which pppd (nothing found)

set
......
PATH='/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:.'

/sbin and /usr/sbin are not listed on the path for user, though they are 
for root when I type set.

ls -l /usr/sbin/pppd  -rwsr-sr-x

I checked pppsetup and the login and password are still there, for 0.
I also have a 1, so cannot just run ppp-on.

I have not tried running pppd without eznet, since it does not seem to be 
found.

I got this working somehow in BL2, but with xterm not rxvt.  BL2 came set 
up already for 'user'.

Steven, perhaps you could put together a package which makes all the 
necessary permission changes so 'user' can dial and use X, or add that to 
passwd.tgz.  (Or get lpr working for root?).

I installed BL3.40 on top of a previous version, I think.
