What it is exactly is that I just set up Suse 9.2 Professional on my laptop dual boot with XP. XP works fine as does Suse seem to except that when I open KPPP to connect to the internet with my PCMCIA card modem, I get a warning window that says that I do not have sufficient permission to do that, and to make sure that ppp is owned by root and that the SUID bit is set.
The problem is not related to hardware, or windows, and has indeed been commented here pretty often. It is telling you directly that the permissions of the pppd daemon are set wrong (meaning '/usr/sbin/pppd'). In the past, I solved the issue by editing "/etc/permissions.local", and adding the line: /usr/sbin/pppd root.dialout 6754 or similar. Then, you have to run "SuSEconfig --module permissions" as root to set it up. This requires also that in file "/etc/sysconfig/security" you have: CHECK_PERMISSIONS="set" There may be other solutions (I don't suppose SuSE expects everybody to do that), and, there might be other problems. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFCufNntTMYHG2NR9URAvTAAJ9kV7bYU6zp34WJJBqSXtd9UPzhvACeLBJL 6YgD//KelDr0kDkAnufbemE= =rGYo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
