And set the setuid bit: chmod +s /usr/sbin/pppd. The only issue is that every time SuSEconfig is running, this gets lost.
You can stop this from happening. Go to /etc/sysconfig/security and set CHECK_PERMISSIONS=NO
Or you can remove the line for /usr/sbin/pppd from /etc/permissions
Or, better yet add these to /etc/permissions.local, whic SuSEconfig checks last and corrects the permissions to your specs, AND will last through an update. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
