Hi, I am facing problems connecting to my ISP with kppp, on slackware linux 8.1. I use 56kbps D-Link external modem.
The description of my problem follows: 1. My linux user account name is "atul". 2. My vsnl login account name is "asowani". 3. /etc/ppp/options is owned by root and has permissions -rw-r--r--. [I tried setting it to "-rw-------", but it does not help]. 4. I configured kppp to used PAP/CHAP and specified username as "asowani" and provided password. 5. Just a couple of days ago, this used to work. Just clicking on kppp would nicely pop-up the login window and upon clicking "connect", it would log me in to vsnl server. But then my KDE session crashed once and after I recovered it, my kppp settings were gone. 6. Now I use it, it fires pppd with arguments "user asowani". Since there is no such user on my system, pppd failes with exit status 16 (saying that could not open /etc/ppp/options). My question is, is there any way to set kppp where it logs me in as earlier? That means, though I specify username as "asowani", how do I make pppd start correctly? Thanks! Atul. __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
