Hi everybody,
I have a problem when using WVDial in user mode. When I start it in a console, I get the message "Cannot open /dev/ttyS3; Permission denied". I can get over this by login in root and changing the permission with the command "chmod 666 /dev/ttyS3", althought it seems only to work for one session. Each time I shutdown the system, it has to be done again.
I have learnt from the previous emails and Lenz or Phillip will both suggest get the user to dialout group and your problem willbe solved even if you upgrade the package or whatever. Using YAST to add the user to the dialout group should be easy
Now, when I launch the program, it works but I get the following warnings:
"Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied "Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/chap-secrets: Permission denied "CHAP (challenge handshake) may be flaky"
Any idea about what might be causing these messages, and how it can be solved? Note that WVdial was installed through YAST in root mode.
Those messages are normal since those file has root owneership and normal user can not change these files. I ahve the also but I do not bother with it Hope it helps -- Togan Muftuoglu toganm@turk.net It said "Needs Windows 98 or better."
