Yesterday, after had read "PCTel HSP MicroModem Configuration mini-HOWTO" i've got to connnect to internet as root. As a simple user, I logged in but the connection fails. The following errors appeared to me: ------------------first error----------------------- (openning KPPP) [error-KPPP] /etc/resolv.conf is missing or can't be read! Ask your system administrator to create this file (can be empty) with appropriate read and write permissions. [OK] --------------second error------------------ (connecting to:) Sorry, can't create modem lock file Sorry, even with the first error (trying to open KPPP) I resolved to configure my dialer to call my ISP -and it was done- but the second error appeared when calling. should it be the fact that my login name doesn't have the "power" to write some logs? or to certain directories? Shoul I gain ample powers to me? Any help? a. Ps-user1 (it's me) and user2 (it is my wife) want connection to internet as ROOT has. -- Adagilson Batista Bispo da Silva Bibliotecário FIOCRUZ-Centro de Pesquisa Aggeu Magalhães Fone 81 3302-6524 -- Para dar de baja la suscripción, mande un mensaje a: suse-linux-s-unsubscribe@suse.com Para obtener el resto de direcciones-comando, mande un mensaje a: suse-linux-s-help@suse.com
