Dear all, A couple of months ago I was trying to help out my family with a linux box and dial in connection to there ISP.
Via the mailing list a tried a number of scenario's also the very bad one's with setting SUID bits, using chown to set root permissions etc. By now I learned what not to do, and what to do! At the end everything turns out to be very easy: These where my issue's: Had to hash out auth in file /etc/ppp/options From here I got ip adress and connection. And had to enter name servers of isp provider: /etc/resolv.conf file Now we where able to use web browser to. That was all! Rest was done by pppconfig, except the 2 issue's mentioned. Now I can help out people running Linux and using dail in connections, Tx. all for teching me and helping me out, and on to the next one. With regards, Willem Greveling.
