I configured Kppp (in the KDE wm) and initially I get a connection but then it dies (unexpectedly! - is this a joke? Was he shot? I imagine that if he'd died after long term illness he died 'expectedly'). Why is that? I didn't do anything out of the ordinary nor did I add any

More than likely it is one or both of two possibilities: 1. Your /etc/ppp/option file has a line starting with "Lock" in it. Empty that file. 2. Your /usr/sbin/pppd file is lacking su permission. As root issue "chmod a+s /usr/sbin/pppd". Unless you change /etc/permissions to tell YaST what you want on pppd it will strip suid off of pppd every time it is run. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
