BINGO! I found that the group read bit was not on on this file.
Changed that and I am a happy camper now. In fact I just dialed in to
send this mail using my user account.
Figures it would be something small like that. It would be nice if
there was a script in the ppp package to check for these kind of
permission problems.
Thanks all,
