XP works fine as does Suse seem to except that when I open KPPP to connect to the internet with my PCMCIA card modem, I get a warning window that says that I do not have sufficient permission to do that, and to make sure that ppp is owned by root and that the SUID bit is set. What the heck does that mean? It means kppp wants the ppp daemon to have root privileges to be able to access the hardware, etc. that it needs to. I would suggest adding the following to /etc/permissions.local, and afterwards running SuSEconfig (as root) to reset the permissions.
/usr/sbin/pppd root.dialout 4755 After this, kppp should work. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
