I just upgraded ppp and ppp-pam to version 2.3.6-1 that is in potato and noticed a couple of oddities.
First of all, with the new version I am unable to execute the command 'pon' as a regular user, even though I am a member of the dip group. Here is the error message it gives: /usr/sbin/pppd: Can't open options file /etc/ppp/peers/provider: Permission denied AFAICT, the permissions on all the directories and files are the same as they were on the previous version. Also, in /etc/ppp/ip-up I have the line /usr/bin/fetchmail -d 60 and in /etc/ppp/ip-down I have the line /usr/bin/fetchmail --quit When I type 'poff', the fetchmail process is not killed. I do know that /etc/ppp/ip-down is getting run, because I touched a file from that same script and it was created. Both of these problems disappear if I install the old version from slink (2.3.5-2). Any ideas on either of these? James
