It is possible to use your modem without being root, but it requires fooling around with device permissions and sometimes the redhat gods reset your changes anyway. The easiest solution is, as root type "visudo" and add a line something like the following: kevin localhost = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/wvdial Then a simple "sudo wvdial" will connect you to the net. Sudo is a genuinely useful tool. I use it all the time. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
