i have been having that problem without ppp though. on redhat, that was related to pam and /etc/security, but on debian, this seems not to influence it. i am using ttyS0 for palm synchronization and robot control through my own programs and would like it to be 666, but it keeps changing to 640 and 600 randomly... martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@@.net -- you work very hard. don't try to think as well.
