Hi all! I can't seem to get wvdial working as normal user. keith@topaz:~> wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.42 --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: AT&F0&C1 AT&F0&C1 OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT1470 0808 0000 000 (changed number) --> Waiting for carrier. ATDT1470 0808 0000 000 CONNECT 38400 --> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately. --> Starting pppd at Sat Jun 7 22:17:51 2003 --> pid of pppd: 771 --> Disconnecting at Sat Jun 7 22:17:51 2003 --> The PPP daemon has died: No root priv error (exit code = 3) --> man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail. --> I guess that's it for now, exiting --> The PPP daemon has died. (exit code = 3) keith@topaz:~> Is this a security risk, dialling out as root user? Does anyone know how to use wvdial to dial up my ISP as normal user, i.e. not root user. Regards & TIA - Keith Roberts
