Oooooh. Now i am just SOOOO close to being able to use Linux as a non-root
user. I did:

>        chmod a+s /usr/sbin/pppd

as you instructed, and now my dial-up works fine. But now i need to know
how to be able to use Netscape as a non-root. When i click on a link i get
a "no DNS...." error screen. Under that screen is another error screen that
says, among other things:

        If your site must use a non-root name server, you will need to set the 
        $SOCKS_NS environment variable to point at the appropriate name server.

How do i do this, and how do i find out what the "appropriate name server"
is. (I guess i should first ask the question, żis this what my problem is?)

Thanks for all the help.
