Related to my previous post about learning to use Xisp, I'm trying to get PPP to work from a user account, my own, and so far haven't had any success. Whether I use Xisp or just "pon ISP_Name" I get the following in /var/log/ppp.log:
pppd[2513]: Can't open options file /etc/ppp/options: No such file or directory I was under the assumption that pppd was supposed to use the file /etc/ppp/peers/ISP_Name for the options file? I can't figure out why it's not doing that. The same operations work fine for root, e.g., pon ISP_Name fires up PPPD without a hitch. I don't see a problem with permissions. pppd is setuid root and /etc/chatscript, and all the files therein, are owned by root.dip. I'm also a member of the dip group in /etc/group. I even tried newgrp dip, which succeeded, but I still get the message about /etc/ppp/options not being there? Why is it trying to read that file instead of /etc/ppp/peers/ISP_Name? HELP! Gary
