Hi, The "Access to modem permitted" option is already enabled for the user I login with, which is also a member of the groups uuco and dialout, as specified in the SuSE manual in order to use WVDial with a non-root user. So, there must be something else involved that disable the use of WVDial when I login with that particular non-root user. On Mon, 26 Jun 2000, you wrote:

ps.1 When you run SuSEconfig it sets permissions on /dev/* according to /etc/permissions so 666 doesn't work.
ps.2 pap/chap-secrets are owned by root so you can't change them (doesn't need to, wvdial will run)

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"
Any idea about what might be causing these messages, and how it can be solved? Note that WVdial was installed through YAST in root mode.
Also, I have seen on the WVDial web siste that there is a new version, 1.41, but the changes from previous version are not described. Is it worth the download and the installation? Here I currently uses version 1.40.
Thanks,
