Hi Wayne;
I've put all the permissions like you showed, but it's still a no-go. I'm still getting "connect script failed" errors. In /var/log/messages it says that pppd is starting and then I get the script error. I should add that my ISP uses PAP. That may change things, but right now it's not even getting to the modem, so I don't know if it matters about PAP. BTW, ppp-on/off does work under root, so I know I have something right.
In the end what I want to do is to be able under user "hatridge" just run, for example, "getmail", which would make the connection, get my email, download outgoing mail and disconnect.
Any ideas?
Check your permissions on "chat" and maybe make sure you have debug FOR chat turned on in the ppp.chat script. It looks like that might be the script that's dieing. THEN view the /var/log/messages. You might also want to make sure thet debug is turned on for pppd. ---------------------------------- <A HREF="http://homepages.skylink.net/~gecko/index.html"><A HREF="http://homepages.skylink.net/~gecko/index.html</A">http://homepages.skylink.net/~gecko/index.html -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS d+(-) s:+ a29 C++$ UL++>++++ P+++$ L++>++++ E?
