I've had some modem problems for the last couple of days.  At first, the
modem worked fine under root but not under my user account.  When I would
try to start it, it woyld say "pppd is not properly installed, the pppd
binary must be installed with the SUID bit set.  I then did the following:

chmod 666 /dev/ttyS1
chown root:root /usr/sbin/pppd
chmod +s /usr/sbin/pppd
chmod 666 /etc/resolv.conf

This got rid of the first message and the kppp dialer now engages the
modem, dials, connects, but now I get a new error message: "pppd daemon
died unexpectedly".  when I try to view log it says "cannot unlock log file"

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks,

Michael

PS I'm running Rh6.0
