1.open a shell and run PS,I get nothing (two entries)but there is a
GUI utility called sys monitor that seems to replace it
ps by default only shows processes running from the current user/current
terminal
ps -ef
or
ps aux
will do what you want i think.
2.I set up a root and user account; to use KDE KPPP from the user
account I am prompted for a root passwrd.Does this compromise security?
Probably not. ppp needs root access to be able to access the modem.
When I start Kppp from user it doesn't dock to the task bar and infact
locks all action there--the desktop icons are still active,so I have
found I can go to this sys monitor and kill the running Kppp,it says it
is killing it(and I get a message from Kppp saying can't start) but
then I exit to normal operation,where the modem icon of Kppp
has docked to the taskbar,all icons are now again active.
Strange,anyone?
No clue.
