I just made some kind of big mistake. I went through InteractiveBastille and in process somehow I lost the ability to use /sbin/ifup ppp0. I got rid of the bastille(uninstalled it) as I regret ever touching it. KPPP works fine. I went though dev/ppp, modem, ttyS1 and /sbin/ifup ifdown and made them all root.pppusers and added myself to pppusers. I may have screwed up the permissions somewhere i don't know. But why would kppp be able to use the damn modem just fine and when i try ifup which has worked just fine for me as a user and as root all along all that happens is i get ppp script failed. The dtr light on my modem(external serial) lights up for a sec and then stops. I am ready to pull out an axe a split my box in half. I hate using kppp because I dont always want to have X running just to connect to internet. I could use wvdial i guess but I could never get that to work as user either. ifup ppp0 worked fine and I would rather use it. Can someone maybe tell me what the perms on all devices related to ppp are. I cant see it being the config stuff about my isp cause i havent changed any of that and it worked fine until now. I need help b4 i get out the axe and kill this damn thing.
