I never managed to get wvdial working, and have been using kppp for my Dial-Up Internet connection. Recently, I loaded another Linux distro on a separate partition, and, strangely, wvdial set itself up without problems . . . So, I thought I would try copying wvdial across to my SuSE partition. wvdial now works OK on SuSE partition, but, Complains that the connection may be 'flaky' because, wvdial does not have permission to write to file /etc/ppp/chap-secrets. Permissions are thus :- _________________________ -rw------- 1 root root 113 Jul 6 06:53 /etc/ppp/chap-secrets -rwxr-xr-x 1 root uucp 67068 Jul 5 21:42 /usr/bin/wvdial ____________________________________________________________________________ I believe that it is NOT ok for a Group, to have write permission for file /etc/ppp/chap-secrets ~ What am I missing, and, is there a work-around, please ? Thanks -- best wishes ____________ sent on Linux ____________
