Hi there. There is something wrong in my kpp configuration. It refuses to be runned by a normal user. When I try (as a user) to run it, it crashes: The terminal shows: KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = kppp path = <unknown> And a dialog box shows: The KPPP application failed with signal 11 (SIGSEGV) The only way to run it is to be root or be su'ed as root. I modified the kppp icon on my desktop from "kppp" to "kdesu kppp" and works fine. But my question is: should it be so? Must I be root to run kppp? I don't feel comfortable running it su'ed as root (can it be a security hole?). By the way, the file permissions are -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 892184 oct 17 11:50 /usr/bin/kppp* Thanks for your help. -- John David Molina
