Hello everyone, I've got hamm installed, and can use 'pon' to start ppp to hook up to the net okay as root, but for the regular user account I made during install I can not because I get 'permission denied' errors. I know this has to do with permissions, so what do I change and how? I've looked for a 'permissions faq' or 'HOWTO' and they don't exist and I checked out the Debian Linux User's Guide and they don't really explain permissions and what they are all about, just the syntax for the commands. I know I can make something '--?--??---' with 'chmod ??0', but I have no idea what the '--?-------' means. If you guys could tell me which ppp related files need to be set to what, and point me to a good document that explains permissions nicely for newbies, I would much appreciate it. I'm soooo sick of AOL. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Unable to locate coffee, operator halted. -- Stefan Farsch -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
