Arthur, (and all other yellowdoggers)
Thanks for all your help! Yes, I now see the dangers of being logged in as
root so rest assured I log in only as a user. I set the SUID on pppd and kppp
as you instructed and that seemed to work.... not another small
question/problem:
It asks that my /etc/resolve.conf file is not found. What is this file and do
I need it if I am trying to connect via a modem only? Also, when I dial into
my ISP (all settings seem to be set correctly) it waits for pppd to start but
it times out waiting for it. It seems to have a reasonable amount of time
allotted (30 secs) but it still times out. How can I make sure pppd is
working correctly? Or should I just give it more of a time allowance??
Thanks for all your help 'cause this newbie sure does need it!
