What groups must they be in? [snip] To run /usr/sbin/pppd, they just need dip. dialout might not be necessary, and lets them use any /dev/ttyS*, which you might not want. Experiment.

[snip] > Host name lookup failture ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This suggests something I've seen on this list before; check the permissions on /etc/resolv.conf, they should be -rw-r--r--. Can normal users use IP addresses? -- Carey Evans <*> [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Double, double, toil and trouble, / Fire burn and cauldron bubble."
