This problem was cleared up on my system when I listed 'login' as an
option for pppd. When the user connects, their pppd process is owned
by root and they are listed as a_ppp in the utmp file, but pppd
updates their listing in the utmp file with the correct ID after a few
seconds.

The only remaining concern i have is that the pppd process is still
owned by root. I previoiusly tracked users by watching for active
processes. Now, I must watch utmp entries instead.
