[SLE] Wvdial permissions
Hi gentlemen: I am log in as root and run wvdial and go to another console as xxxxx user. Is this the secured way of internet conenction or do I have to do wvdial as xxxxx user. It seems that I cant access /dev/ttyS1 even after configuring it in YAST and also chmod & chgroup commands. Thanks for your assistance to this newbie question. I will log in in my linux box next time. As you see I am in AOL mail. :-) Jess -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Actually IŽm able to log on as user! But when I sometimes log on inside the console and then afterwards log on in X, I have to do /sbin/SuSEconfig before this would be possible !! It's pretty annoying though ! Is there a workaround for this ?? /Niels SuSE 6.2/homeuser without a network ! --

In /etc/permissions.local I have done this: /dev/ttyS1 root.uucp 6665 Although 6660 should be more than sufficent. I have set permissions in rc.config to secure local. Run SuSEconfig afterward. Also, as I posted the other day, upgrade to the newest ppp package from suse 6.3 update site. It seems to have solved the problem of ppp changing the permissions of /dev/ttySX. -- Tim RRMC -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
