ppp changes the permissions to 640 on the device it is using, and restores them when it exits. If it exits abnormally (crash, kill -9, etc) the permissions are not restored. I have suspected that it does not always restore them on a normal exit, but haven't been able to prove that to my satisfaction. Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.
