As root I have no problems connecting to my ISP using PPP. However when trying to connect as a normal user the connection drops after the serial connection is established. I've checkde and rechecked file permissions and they seem correct. Couldn't under- stand the ioctl manual page and am not sure what ioctl is or why it is screaming. I've been working at this for about 4 hours now and have run out of ideas. Would someone out there be willing to help point me in the right direction? Error messages from debug:
pppd[137]: Serial connection established. pppd[137]: ioctl (PPPIOCGUNIT): Operation not permitted pppd[137]: ioctl(PPPIOCGDEBUG): Operation not permitted pppd[137]: Exit. Thanks. (I hope this gets resolved soon. I'm using my son's computer to access email and he's starting to run out of patience with me! Not sure why my Debian installation has been so difficult [4 weeks to date] when so many others seem to have little problem. I guess that's the price of buying a cheap AMD system!) Thanks in advance!
