Dan, In addition to what Stephan said you may want to su to root and "chmod a+xs /usr/sbin/pppd" Every time you run YaST it uses the /etc/permissions file setting to reset pppd. Change the setting in pppd so YaST won't reset it every time you run YaST. JLK Dan Tudor wrote:
Hi everyone, I need your help on one problem.
I used to connect to the Internet using Dial Up Networking in Win98, checking the option "Bring up terminal window after connecting". That is in a terminal window I give my username and password, after a string of weird characters appear and I press "continue", and within few seconds I'm connected.
I recently switched on Linux (SuSE 6.0) and I'm here to stay - that's for sure. I tried to connect using a KDE tool, very similar to Dial Up Networking, and I also have the option of logging onto network using a terminal window - and everything works smoothly until I see the characters string and I press the "continue" button. In within seconds I get a message saying that "The pppd daemon ended unexpectedly" and I'm disconnected. Can you help me by telling what I should do? I'm not afraid to learn how to edit configuration files, so if you think I should'n use the KDE "dial up" environment and if you could suggest me an alternative way, I'm also very interested. Thank you very much.
Dan
