Hi,
Can anyone cast any light on the following please ? ... etc
Replying (in part), to my own post, I found an old article on the support database which suggests that (for reasons the SuSE people do not fully understand), wvdial can sometimes leave /dev/ttyS0 locked. They don't say anything about the suid problem with pppd though - so I would still appreciate any thoughts / experiences you all may have.
Regards,
Geoff
Hi Geoff, one thought is that you ran SuSEConfig by working on your system. SuSEConfig resets permissions as "granted" in /etc/permissions.[local|secure|...]. If you changed permissions by hand long time back, that might be the problem. (Or, I am completely wrong. Some memory tells me that (re)setting permissions is also called by cron-dayly). It's worth to be looked at anyway.
