As User, I have joined Groups : uucp, dialout, modem

How can I setUID for User & how to fix this, please ?

Thanks

It's been awhile since I had to do this but i remember having to setuid as root for /usr/sbin/pppd. run (as root) # chmod +s /usr/sbin/pppd Every time SuSEconfig is run it'll take off the suid bit. There's a way to keep it like this but I can't remember it. Check the archives, I'd start around the end of september. HTH -- E.F.Maurer Using SuSE 9.0 Pro
