as I understand it, one of the current limitations of wvdial is that it needs root when its used standalone...
you need to look into sudo to get it working as a user. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Les Henderson Sent: Thursday, 19 September 2002 12:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] msec question I've been using wvdial on my LM8.1 box to connect to my ISP. I've not been able to get a normal user account to be able to use wvdial. I keep on getting the error message "Device or resource busy". I can use it fine if I su to root first. I've tried setting the permissions of the device to rwxrwxrwx, but the permissions always are changed to rwxr-xr-x when i use wvdial. I am pretty sure that msec is changing the permissions of the device when pppd is started. Any idea what changes I need to make to get wvdial to work for a normal user?
