security is now a bit tighter. I'm assuming you are on a single user
machine.
login as a user - not root.
This will take care of the X messages you've been troubled by.
give the commands
xhost +localhost
kppp&
you'll have to give the root password to get to the kppp window
Here's the permissions on pppd and kppp on my CS 1.2 installation
[pac1@localhost pac1]$ ls /usr/sbin/kppp -lah
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 375k Feb 28 04:29 /usr/sbin/kppp
[pac1@localhost pac1]$ ls /usr/sbin/pppd -lah
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 167k Feb 27 22:34 /usr/sbin/pppd
[pac1@localhost pac1]$
note the suid bit is not set. whether you set it or not, you still need to
give the root password to pam
in order to start kppp.
