Hi again,
Thanks for the help w/lynx. I probably should have thought of that.
For anyone who's interested, I did the following things to correct
the linuxconf problem I was having. Here's the description
from my previous post:

I configured the permissions on the duplicate /var/spool/mqueue and
/usr/sbin/pppd entries to match. No more complaints from linuxconf.
Also, regarding restarting gpm at linuxconf exit, I noticed that
/etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm said "pidfile: /var/run/gpmpid" but the actual
file was /var/run/gpm.pid. I changed the line to read
"pidfile: /var/run/gpm.pid" and linuxconf stopped trying to restart
gpm whenever I tried to exit.
