I have installed KDE yesterday and works ok.[snip]
But I have some problems with Kppp.
I have succeeded in building my login script but the modem keeps hanging
up after the password acceptance from the server.
Kppp debug tells me that some parameters related to SUID is not properly
setup...... I've no clue what SUID is !
I just fixed the same problem after upgrading KDE. What I did was su root, then do a "chmod +s pppd". I did the same for kppp. Now I can dial in without having to become root.
chmod +s sets the setuid bit, which tells a program to run with the owner's permission. So if you do a chmod +s as root, when you run that program as you it runs as if it were being run by root.
