[EMAIL PROTECTED] vinu]$ ls -l /usr/bin/kppp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jul 4 01:45 /usr/bin/kppp -> consolehelper [EMAIL PROTECTED] vinu]$ man consolehelper Found out that if a link is created to consolehelper then /usr/sbin/foo is invoked with pam auth(configurations taken from /etc/pam.d/foo).. foo = kppp in this case. [EMAIL PROTECTED] vinu]$ ls -l /usr/sbin/pppd -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 207528 Jun 10 14:00 /usr/sbin/pppd [EMAIL PROTECTED] work]# chmod +s /usr/sbin/kppp [EMAIL PROTECTED] work]# chmod +s /usr/sbin/pppd U can access kppp now using /usr/sbin/kppp as a normal user, without the root prompt... But typing kppp --> /usr/bin/kppp will cause the prompt to come....changing the pam configuration is an alternative solution.
