Hi! I've just (yesterday) migrated from Mandrake to Debian 2.2 - so please bear with me, I'm trying to learn! It was, by the way, the smoothest install ever.
What I want to discover fairly quickly is how to use pppd when I'm a user and not root. At the moment I'm using wvdial (or pon poff) as root to log on to my ISP and then zipping over to another console to do what must be done on the net - mostly mail. I don't like this! and don't like the thought of running pppd suid, but need a quick fix as the post keeps coming.. Can anyone tell me how or point me to the right docs? I added myself to the dialup group but that doesn't seem to have done the business. Thanks in anticipation Glyn M. -- ****************************************************** * "The soul is greater than the hum of its parts.
