Hi, on FreeBSD 5.3 I am using ppp in interactive mode with a ppp.linkup script to perform some commands (sendmail and ntpdate):
!bg sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q !bg ntpdate ptbtime1.ptb.de In man ppp I have seen: [...] All external commands (executed via the "shell" or "!bg" commands) are executed as the user id that invoked ppp. [...] So the only way for a normal user to run this commands successfully in ppp.linkup are per sudo ppp or is there another chance to run these commands?
