For dial-up networking I use kppp. I want to start it from the KDE-panel without having to type the root-password all the time. I use Redhat 8.0. I have examined 2 different solutions:
1) change PAM-authentication configuration file for kppp (/etc/pam.d/kppp) change line : auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rootok.so to : auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_permit.so 2) create a group that is allowed to use kppp (e.g. 'dialout'), chown /usr/sbin/kppp to root:dialout, add the users that may use kppp to 'dialout', and use /usr/sbin/kppp to start dial-up networking. Which of the 2 is a better choice? Why? What about security? Or is maybe yet another method preferred? If so, why?
