Dear experts please help. I have installed ppp and it works. However as ordinary user I get strange error messages. Here my setup: login : hols I have created a group pppusers in which my login figures more /etc/group ... pppusers:x:101:hols,nagie,root the files for ppp look as follows -rwxr-x--- 1 root pppusers /etc/ppp/options -rwxr-x--- 1 root pppusers /etc/ppp/pppondialer #my chat script -rwxr-x--- 1 root pppusers /usr/bin/pppoff -rwxr-x--- 1 root pppusers /usr/bin/pppon -rwxr-x--- 1 root pppusers /usr/sbin/chat lrwxrwxrwx 1 root pppusers /usr/sbin/pppd ->pppd-2.2 -rws--x--- 1 root pppusers /usr/sbin/pppd-2.2 crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 4, 65 /dev/ttyS1 Now as super user the sripts /usr/bin/pppon and /usr/bin/pppoff work fine But as user hols (who belongs to the group pppusers [cat /etc/group ---> ... pppusers:x:101:hols,nagie,root]) the script starts running (=no authorization error) but it does not work. I get the following error in my log-files Nov 19 10:51:57 scorpion pppd[182]: pppd 2.2.0 started by hols, uid 1000 Nov 19 10:51:58 scorpion pppd[182]: Connect script failed Nov 19 10:51:58 scorpion pppd[182]: Connect script failed What can I do? Thank you very much for your help, cheers, Matthias _________________________________________________________________________ Matthias Holschneider | e-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Geosciences Rennes | tel: +33 2 99 28 63 78 (direct line) Campus de Beaulieu, Bat. 15 | +33 2 99 28 26 37 (secretary) F-35042 Rennes | fax: +33 2 99 28 60 90 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ************ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org
