I am trying to make my ppp dialable by normal users. I have done this on other linux systems by the command chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd. This does not change the permissions in suse because I can still not dial out with my normal user status only root. I can change it by going to the file in tkdesk and making it exectable by everyone but as soon as I run SUSEConfig for another reason it will cahnge the permissions and i cannot run it as anything but root again.
I would be grateful for any suggestions
I think you not only have to make the pppd binary world executable, but everything that is associated with it like /etc/ppp/options and your chat log in script.
AFAIR pppd is set to owner root and group dialout. It's simply a matter
of adding any users that you want to be able to dial to the group
dialout, and making sure that permissions for the options and chat
scripts are also set accordingly.
