This method will allow u to set a diff wm for each user .. Create a script
named ~/.Xclients as follows:

-------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

########################################################################
# -*- sh -*-                                                           #
#                                                                      #
# ~/.Xclients: used by startx (xinit) to start up a window manager and #
# any other clients you always want to start an X session with.        #
#                                                                      #
# feel free to edit this file to suit your needs.                      #
########################################################################

exec afterstep

-------------------------------

That's 'bout it !! :)

/sbin/ifup ppp0, provided that you had set "USERCTL=yes" in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0.

/sbin/ifdown ppp0 to shutdown the connection.

Hope that helps.
