Now that I'm starting to get everything organized for a regular user to
use, as opposed to root, I tied to access the internet tonight using
ppp-go (the one I use for root). But as a user, it wouldn't connect.
When I try to run it, all I get is a new prompt. In the
var/log/messages file it
Hi Jose, I can sympthize with you, I tried for days to get connected,
but to no avail. I used the PPP-HOWTO and the CONFIGURE-HOWTO and
couldn't seem to go anywhere. I was using three scripts called ppp-on,
ppp-on-dialer and ppp-off and whenever i tried to use them they did not
work. I them
What you're experiencing is Samba and probably Apache both
going through an identity crisis because they don't know
what the server's name is supposed to be. You can resolve this
by typing "linux single" at the lilo prompt (without quotes)
which will boot the box without starting any services.
Most likely, your problem is that pppd is trying to do
things that it can only do as root. Try setting it to
run suid (this is necessary, not a trick). If pppd is in
/usr/sbin (I think that's where it is on my system, I'm
at work right now though) you'll say "chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd"
without
To manipulate the network stack (route , ifconfig ...) you have to be
root.
so if you want to make it possible for ordinary users to activate the ppp
link, you will have to give him root priviledge while doing so
ie by writing a special suid launcher that does all the work or maybe
just
Jose!!
Don't get frustrated and give up..
It does get easier..(somewhat)..but even after a while, when you approach
an area that you've had no experiences in, you've gotta start hunting
through all the cryptic info for that one little scrap of a code line
example, that makes the whole thing

# name : ppp_ip

I have a SCSI Zip drive that operates nicely.
IOMEGA provides a backup utility for Windoze 95.
Is there a Linux version? If not, what are my
options for an automated backup multi-disk backup?
Tanks for the help!
