Have you removed the boot-floppy from the diskette drive? It sounds like you're coming up in single-user or emergency mode. If you remove the diskette and re-boot, you can enter passwd and your desired root password twice to get your desired root password re-instated, then do "shutdown -g0 -i6 -y" to reboot and order may be restored. If not, edit /etc/inittab, check your default run-level, and set it to 3 or 4 and re-boot again. If that doesn't work out, post your /etc/inittab, the outputs of ls /etc/init.d, ls /etc/rc1.d, ls /etc/rc2.d, ls /etc/rc3.d, and if you set default run-level to 4, ls /etc/rc4.d and we'll proceed. > > When I do "/usr/sbin/pppd" I get "/etc/ppp/ppp-connect ;permission denied" > in /etc/ppp/connect-errors!.

Read /usr/doc/ppp/README.Debian to find out all you need to know about ppp. Use pon to start ppp (once you're sure your /etc/ppp.chatscript is OK). Post again with detail on what you've done and your results if you aren't successful. HTH > > Has this something to do with "the autologg-in"?
