Is this only a kppp problem? I cannot use a direct ppp connection to my
ISP as it uses CHAP authentication, which does not seem to be supported
by Mandrake anymore. But if resolv.conf continuously reverts to read and
write permissions for root only, surely this would affect any form of
user dialup? I am getting a little tired of having to do chmod every
time I want to dial out. I assume that the same problem exists with
other window managers as long as kppp is used? I haven't had much
opportunity to find out yet as I spent the day getting rpmdrake working
properly.
