Put your users in the 'dip' group and set the permissions and ownership of
/etc/chatscripts thusly:
drwx--x--- root dip /etc/chatscri
I have problems starting ppp as a normal user also that I have not been
able to cure by mucking with permissiont in /etc and elsewhere. Mind
firing off a quick ls -l /etc/ppp*? I'd really appreciate it.

/etc/chatscripts/provider is read by chat, not pppd. pppd forks and exec's
chat via these lines:
setuid(getuid());

The options file can be empty, but it must exist if any user other than
root is to use pppd.

Doesn't for me. Note, however, that 'pppd file /etc/ppp/peers/provider' is
*not* the same as 'pppd call provider'. The latter will accept privileged
options in provider.
With my options file removed, ''pppd c

I still would like to know what became of your options file, though. Could
it have been destroyed by wmpp?

servis)? Will it run or issue an error message?
When I do this, pppd starts and begins sending LCP packages.

You have to add the user to the dip (or
I just installed Debian 2.0.
Can someone tell me how to establish a PPP connection from my normal

I tried chmod u+s pppd but that doesn't work.
