I'm having trouble implementing this vpn on Ubuntu server.
Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Particularly I get the error: pppd: Is not setuid-root and the invoking user is not root.
I have to say that I am using the root user
sudo openfortivpn --trusted-cert 6f0ac15ce35ca1af5e3b751475asdfasdf4ba7a1ec289eda308b95cbf13 xxxxx.xxxxx.xxx.xx:10443 -u 2234 <<< '123'
VPN account password:
INFO: Connected to gateway.
INFO: Authenticated.
INFO: Remote gateway has allocated a VPN.
ERROR: read: Input/output error
INFO: Cancelling threads...
ERROR: pppd: Is not setuid-root and the invoking user is not root.
INFO: Terminated pppd.
INFO: Closed connection to gateway.

As you can see below I have ppp installed in the operating system
dpkg -l | grep ppp
ii ppp 2.4.7-2+2ubuntu1.3 amd64 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) - daemon
and this is in the latest version, I use the apt-get package manager
Instead when I check pppd, I get the following
sudo pppd
Couldn't open the /dev/ppp device: Operation not permitted
pppd: Sorry - this system lacks PPP kernel support
When I try to start or run pppd from the linux kernel I get:
modprobe ppp
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:514 lookup_builtin_file() could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/4.15.0/modules.builtin.bin'
modprobe: FATAL: Module ppp not found in directory /lib/modules/4.15.0
ls -l /lib/modules/4.15.0/modules.builtin.bin
