RE: [SLE] Dial-On-Demand not works only for Y.O.U.
Hello again, Sorry for the brevity of the original. To re-iterate in more detail. I have successfully installed SuSE 8.0 and am happy with the basic set-up apart from internet access. This is a stand-alone PC to be shared by all the family so D-o-D sounds like a godsend. However, DoD only appears to work from Y.O.U. which I suspect is because YOU is run as root. Can anyone confirm and/or suggest any solutions? Thanks in advance. Regards, Sylvanus A.

Hi, I suspect that somewhere along the line I need to either: 1. Add the relevant users to the correct group; OR 2. I need to change ownership of a D-O-D script somewhere. Can anyone suggest a likely candidate?

When some one logs in, not as root, the Kinternet needs to be started: right click on the symbol and choose 'start'. Only then the DOD will work. I am a bit dissapointed it doesn't remember that, when you logoff, you need to start it again the next time. Well, at least you don't dial in by mistake.

Hi, people. Try my solution with a grain of salt, as I am not an user of `kinternet'. One could modify file `/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-ppp0' and change the line `STARTMODE="manual"' so it reads `STARTMODE="onboot"'. However, I rather decided to modify file `/etc/init.d/boot.local' for adding a line `ifup ppp0' at its end (just after the few `setserial' this machine needs). But I got another problem in that area you do not appear to have, and I wonder where my mistake might be. I even tried `kinternet' (but outside KDE) to no avail. When `smpppd' calls `wvdial', it first creates a temporary configuration file in `/var/run/smpppd/wvdial-tmp.conf'. That file contains the correct phone number (proving that it gets to the data saved by Yast2), but it does not contain the correct login name nor password, nor the idle timeout. Both `Username' and `Password' are set to `dummy'. To get over that difficulty, I renamed `/usr/bin/wvdial', and replaced it by a shell script which edits `/var/run/smpppd/wvdial-tmp.conf' on the fly before the original `wvdial' program sees it. This is rather ugly... -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard

However, starting a browser does not cause DoD to dial out. So far I can only achieve this by starting the YOU or the game XPilot.
Any ideas, anyone?
