Hi everybody,
I have a problem when using WVDial in user mode. When I start it in a console, I get the message "Cannot open /dev/ttyS3; Permission denied". I can get over this by login in root and changing the permission with the command "chmod 666 /dev/ttyS3", althought it seems only to work for one session. Each time I shutdown the system, it has to be done again.
Now, when I launch the program, it works but I get the following warnings:
"Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied "Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/chap-secrets: Permission denied "CHAP (challenge handshake) may be flaky"
Permission denied is not a problem here. I have this message too, but wvdial should connect without any problem. If you HATE those messages, you could modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secret permissions, but any user with modem access could read your password to the internet.
Thanks,
