Hi all, I am looking for a líttle understanding problem. Maybe someone can advice me.
On my EEEPC I am running an application called "umtsmon" (this is for gprs- access). Umtsmom is a single binary located in /usr/bin. When I start it, it is started, and when I want to connect to the internet it starts a modem connection by using pppd. This is fine working, when I am starting it as user "root". (I use "sux" to become root from a normal user). When I start umtsmon as normal user, pppd is not allowed to be used by this user. This is ok, I want only users in a special group use pppd. So far so well, but I dop not understand this: When set the binary with rwsr-x--- (root:dialout), then umtsmon should start with the rights of root and should be also allowed to start pppd! But i does clearly NOT! I get the maesage: pppd is not allowed to start, only root is allowed to start it. What do I do wrong? Where do I think wrong? BTW: maybe someone wants to adopt umtsmon and create a package. It is open- source / GPL and it is really great tool (This only remarked besides) Thank you for any help!
