that should be ls -l not ls -1. the letter L in its smaller variety. And there should be a space between ls and -l, and between -l and /usr/sbin/pppd No other spaces need apply.
command, depending how I type it. Kppp (internet dialer in 7.3) does not have a place to put in nameserver or "mwt.net" address, like windoz, and even windoz seems to be automatic (dynamin?). Another time it connected for a fraction of a second, then kppp crashed and gave this message:Unable to access /var/log/syslog.ppp, /var/log/syslog, and also /var/log/messages.
It really sounds like pppd isn't suid root. try the ls command again. You should get something like -rwsr-sr-- 1 root dialout 206856 Sep 20 06:13 /usr/sbin/pppd Note the two s-es (how do you pluralize 's' in writing?). If you don't have any s there then that's your problem. If you do, then I'm completely wrong and will shut up for the rest of the year (about three more hours :). //Anders
