Thanks for your input, i'm a relative newbie trying to figure out these permissions. Scott To use the adsl-start script as a user, you have to configure it with tkPPPoE. Changing permissions won't do the job. Get the latest version from Roaring Penguin and be sure to install the GUI interface. Cliff

That is correct. rwx by owner (root), rx by group (root), rx by everyone. When i try to run it from bash i get adsl-start: you must be root to run this script. Why would i not be able to run this script as user? Presumably the problem is that something the script attempts to execute is only runnable by root.
