Kenny quiered with thus,
Further to my earlier post (see below) the error has now changed to "sorry, can't open modem" from Kppp after commenting out "lock" in / etc/ppp/options. User root can still dial out but all other users get the above error
kppp needs to have lock configured.
There is a button in kpp setup to specify that kppp will manage the lock file. Using that method is the only way I could get it to work right.
The other problem is easily fixed by giving each user permissions in relative groups ie dialout etc through YaST, system administrator, group administrator, F3 choose group, tab to users insert relative names followed with comma and no space enter next name, Then making sure that kppp or whatever program you use is configured with group as dialout, this part may not need to be done, test system first, maybe.
SuSE database wvdial has an explanation of how to do this.
