Hi Paul, If you want to start your ADSL connection without being logged as root, you can use sudo command. You will be able to start your connection script from a non root user by keying sudo name_of_your_script. In order to do that you need to configure properly your /etc/sudoers file. You can find an example at the end of http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg21765.html In this example, /usr/bin/start-adsl (script used to start adsl) can be started from carole or alain user's environments without needing to enter root password with the sudo start-adsl command.

Finally managed it through setting the right vci and vpi settings and the correct domain and nameserver settings for my ISP in the resolv.conf. I still have an issue and some questions though. 1) In my syslog i'm getting the output ' pppoa3 [<num>] : CRC error in AAL5 frame'. I'm assuming something needs tweaking. 2) Each time I log on I have to run the modem_run and pppd call commands to get a connection and I also need to be logged on as root. Can this be setup in a start-up file and available from any user account ? 3) How can I disconnect the line if I want ? 4) Can anyone point me to information about setting up my firewall ? Many thanks for all your help.
