Hi all Redhat 6.2, rp-pppoe-3.5-1, sudo-1.6.5p2-1.6x.1, single-user machine here ... After booting the machine I try to start an adsl-connection as a non-root by entering a sudo adsl-start
And it does not work: Excerpt from /var/log/messages regarding this connection-attempt: ------------------------------------- Aug 9 15:42:11 happysleep kernel: eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xe000 , IRQ 10, 00:50:fc:42:13:e9.

Aug 9 15:42:22 happysleep adsl-connect: ADSL connection lost; attempting re-con nection. ---------------------------------------------------------- Only after I killed adsl-connect as root this whole "attempting re-connection" could be stopped (although I sudo-ed "adsl-stop" for non-root user) Then, as *root*, I could establish a dsl-connection successfully, closed down this connection and only now *non*-root could establish an adsl-connection successfully. I sudo-ed the adsl-stuff (and several other commands) only some days ago to me as non-privileged user, and I suspect now, that it's an ownership problem for a file or device, that causes this problem .. Months before that, as long as I ran "adsl-connect" etc. as root I didn't have these problems ... Ideas about what's going on there? Thanks in anticipation.
