This is one is an easy one for you guys/gals out there...
I finally made the PPP connection work!!!!
Here's the twist...I have been connecting as root and now I want to connect
as a regular user. I have read ch 14 on the ppp-Howto regarding
ppp-security. I have set up the permissions as follows:
* rwsr-xr-x--- 1 root pppusers 143708 Jul 12 2000
/usr/sbin/pppd == chmod 4750
My dial up scripts have the following permissions:
* rwxr-x--- 1 root pppusers 136 Mar 1
/etc/ppp/ConnectPPP
* rwxr-x--- 1 root pppusers 136 Mar 1
/etc/ppp/DisconnectPPP
I created a group called 'pppusers' and I made sure that to create a user
that has pppusers as its primary group.
The error message that I get is:
/usr/sbin/pppd: device name cannot be overridden
that's it...help please!!!
Cordially,
Alvaro F. Jiménez
