Hi there,
I have a problem with pppd after upgraded to SuSE Version 8.1 from 8.0:
First I can no longer run pppd as a normal user:
michael@tamboti:~> /usr/sbin/pppd call peer
/usr/sbin/pppd: must be root to run /usr/sbin/pppd, since it is not
setuid-root
michael@tamboti:~> la /usr/sbin/pppd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 211992 2002-09-09 22:32 /usr/sbin/pppd
michael@tamboti:~>
Is it ok to set the uid-root or is there a further impact, besides security?
Is there a better way to start my chat script?
Second and worse. After I have established the connection as root I can not
Ping the remote machine. The ping is sent and does never come back. What has
happened?
After that connection failed the connection to my ISP does not work correctly,
is it possible that pppd writes somewhere something like a status file. I
found in /var/run/pppd.tdb but I couldn't find out what its use is, and if it
could cause a problem if it is not deleted after the connection is down.
Here is what I get as output when the manual connetion to my remote machine is
up. Maybe someone can see why I can not telnet, ssh or ping it though the
connection is there?
Thanks a lot for any hint
Michael
