Is there a quick & dirty way one can script a change to the pppd 'uid' bit, and if so, how would be best? I am not only very new at scripting but I am getting so weary of the 'long way' using kfm as su.
Please explain what is your problem: perhaps making a permission change to file (pppd) remain untouched? Do it in /etc/permissions.local. Nothing dirty about it.
I am referring to SuSE9's apparent inability to hold permissions for pppd. I keep getting an error msg when attempting to connect using kppp. Perhaps making a permission change in permissions.local may do it... I really do not know. It is definitely worth a try. It certainly would beat using kfm & manually changing the pppd's uid when I need kppp.
Thanks... ...CH
I added the line "chmod +s /usr/sbin/pppd" to /etc/init.d/boot.local.
