Hi George,
You haven't given enough information to trigger an exact answer.
But, anyway i am able to understand your needs. What you can do is to
add sticky bit to user, group and others ( easiest) to the ppp script
which is invoked for ppp0. it can be ppp-dailer in case of seyon. Or to be
on the safer side, give permissions/stick bits to all the binaries, scritps
which is responsible to invoke ppp daemon and ppp0 interface.
OR
you can do one more thing !!!!!!!
create a group called mail. add a user called postmaster to this group.
change the group of all binaries/scripts which is responsible to invoke
ppp daemon and ppp0 interface. Then give rwx permission to these
scripts/binaries.
This should do for you !!!!!!!
Please get back me to if you are not clear.
Happy Linuxing !!!!!!

freshmeat.net. I did manage to find one that I really liked. However, when I
tried to use it, /var/log/httpd/error_log reported that regular users can't co
ntrol ppp0. I tried changing perms on /sbin/ifup and /sbin/ifdown to 4755, but
that still didn't work. What am I missing?
