Now, if I change the permissions on /etc/suseppp/generic.* to 660, all is fine. Unfortunately, anytime SuSEconfig runs, it resets the perms on that file.
Add a couple of lines of /etc/permissions.local like these:
/etc/suseppp/generic.options root.dialout 660 /etcsuseppp/generic.chat root.dialout 660
Then add "local" to the permissions line in /etc/rc.config.
PERMISSION_SECURITY="secure local"
You can edit the file manually or go into Yast. If you edit the file manually, be sure to run SuSEConfig after.
Okay, another question. I received another reply to the original message saying that I should edit /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.ppp and modify the perms there. Is one method better than the other? (I'd imagine that editing the /etc/permissions.local would be better the /sbin/conf.d one would get overwritten if/when I install a newer suseppp package?)
