Hi, I can use ppp being root on my Mandrake 8.2 RC1 box, but not from user accounts. I am using wvdial. I was able to do this before I upgraded from 8.1, but I do not remember what I did to make it work from user accounts on 8.1. I have tried this:
a+rx /usr/sbin/{pppd,chat} chmod a+rw /dev/tts/LT0 (My Lucent based WinModem) chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd but it doesn't work. I get the message: "Cannot open /dev/modem: Device or resource busy" using wvdial from user accounts. What am I missing?
