If you set the permissions for /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets to 770 or something, this message will not appear during the session, but, when starting up a next time, it's back. The reason is that the security system sets these permissions back to 600 each time. To prevent this, in yast go to System Administration > Security settings > General information on system security, and set 'File permissions are set to: easy'. Now set the permissions for etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets back to 770. Since I did this, wvdial has never complained about a possible flaky connection again. SH
