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. I think that I would have a script that is placed in either .login or .profile that will run the pppd as root that way you don't have problems with trying to track everything down.
