I've done what you said in permissions.local (and I am in the dialout group) but whenever I try to Query the Modem or even enter the Terminal mode kppp just freezes! And I have to use kill -9 xxxx (not just ordinary kill xxxx) to dead it :-).
Did you run SuSEconfig? That will set the correct permissions for pppd.
No I didn't.
What is missing and that has to be done to get kppp to work? Give me a clue :-).
The only thing I can guess is a messed up config file. Try renaming or moving to Trash ~/.kde/share/config/kpprc. I have used it for several years with only minor packaging glitches, i.e. once /etc/ppp/peers/kppp file was left out, now the pppd permissions.
Well, something was messed up because I 'lost' the whole system for the first time in some 5 years of using Linux :-(. I couldn't login into SuSE- when trying to boot into SuSE kept getting the message modprobe: modprob; Can't locate module char-najor-180 and when the login prompt came up and I tried to login as root I got the message FATAL: cannot change permissions of TTY: Read-only file system. So I had to re-install the whole sheebang. And this also made me stop worrying about getting kppp to work :-). kinternet is working just fine so kppp can stay in its cage :-).
