I can ping anything when root and then if I su to another user I get
nothing. What do I need to configure? I have pacbell DSL and am
using Roraring Penguin's pppoe software. I stuck the adsl-start
command in rc.local and that works so the connection is made upon
booting. Which works for root.

Also how do I change the name of my machine from localhost to be some
name I want? Thanks!
