pppd/pon permission problem
I can use PPP as root but I'd like to use the PPP connection as a user. I added self to the dip group. Calling pon provider I get the following errors /usr/bin/pon: /usr/sbin/pppd: Permission denied Currently( slink default ): -rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip105532 JÚN 19 1998 /usr/sbin//pppd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 45 JÚN 19 1998 /usr/bin/pon Which permission should I set?

Re: pppd/pon permission problem
Your permission problem may be at /etc/ppp. I noticed the default cron job kept changing permission on me there to root.root instead of root.dip. Then when a normal user (member of dip) tried to run pon Permission denied because pppd couldn't read the config files... Take a look, then take a look at cron.daily for the offending line. -- -- Eric G. Miller Powered by the A HREF=http://www.debian.org;POTATO/A!
Re: pppd/pon permission problem
I should added me to the dialout group. So it works. So with the original slink settings ; + with dip,dialout group settings works.
