Hi everybody!
I would like to let SOME users connect to my ISP but NOT to ALL of them.
I am in a single machine, not in a LAN.
Tried -all as root- creating a group:
# groupadd pppdallow
And adding some users to this group:
# usermod -G pppdallow john
# usermod -G pppdallow peter
so john and peter belong to "pppdallow".
Finally I changed permissions to /usr/sbin/pppd so that "ls -l
/usr/sbin/pppd"
is:
-rwxrwx--- 1 root pppd 104812 Nov 26 11:15
and also tried with permissions:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root pppd 104812 Nov 26 11:42
but john and peter still cannot connect to my ISP, and -when trying to
connect- bash's output is:
/usr/sbin/pppd: must be root to run /usr/sbin/pppd, since
it is not setuid-root
If I check my "/etc/group" file, I can see (please tell me if I'm wrong)
that users "john" and "peter" belong to group "pppdallow" both with root
as MEMBER and NOT MEMBER of pppdallowas follows:
# cat /etc/group
[...]
slipusers:x:232:
postgres:x:233:
john:x:500:
peter:x:501:
pppdallow:x:502:john,peter,root
What am I doing wrong ? And I went to "man setuid" but I don't
understand it, sorry!
And I read "man [groupadd/mod] [usermod/add] and I guess I did what they
say.
TIA and thanx for the mailing-list (to mailing-admin) :).
