Incoming from Paul Schwartz:It doesn't seem to have anything to do with group ownership. I did those things, and it still doesn't work. Note that even as root [after su] it doesn't work in the xterm window..
If I execute pon [as root or su] in a console session it works.
If I do it in an xterm window [using kde and as su] it comes backwith a new prompt but it doesn't do anything.
What am I doing wrong?
Nothing. That's the way it's supposed to work. Now, add yourself to group ppp and you can do it as a user too. "adduser $user ppp"
