It isn't. A user need only be a member of the dip group in order to bring up a ppp connection with pon or gpppon. A user need only be a member of the dialout group to dial out. This allows seperate control over which users can bring up ppp connections and which ones can dial out with minicom and such. > Reason I'm ask'in is altho I CAN Dialout as root. and CAN dialout as a > Normal user Via.

( PPPD Bombs out > ) ( I CAN dial out with kppp as root ) Kppp is, to put it as politely as I can, not as well designed as it might be. > Maybe I'll Write the PPP Section after I figure out how PPP is > implemented in debian........ Eh ? ppp is implemented in Debian just about exactly as recommended by the upstream maintainers. BTW the correct list for your question is debian-user. I've cc'd accordingly. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, Wisconsin
