Hi,
I've just upgraded to the new pppd 2.3.6 and I'm having problems logging on
as a user other than root. I don't remember what I did to get my last version
working. I think I had it set suid but I'm not sure.
Here are some excerpts from my messages log adn the problem I'm having. I'll be
glad if someone can help me.
Mar 27 19:45:51 peabrain pppd[439]: pppd 2.3.6 started by efreitas, uid 500
Mar 27 19:45:51 peabrain pppd[439]: Failed to open /dev/modem: Permission denied
Mar 27 19:45:51 peabrain pppd[439]: Exit.
I used to be able to use this device before this upgrade...
Mar 27 19:49:54 peabrain pppd[477]: pppd 2.3.6 started by root, uid 0
Mar 27 19:49:54 peabrain kernel: tty_io.c: process 477 (pppd) used obsolete
/dev/cua1 - update software to use /dev/ttyS1
Mar 27 19:50:13 peabrain pppd[477]: Serial connection established.
Mar 27 19:50:14 peabrain pppd[477]: Using interface ppp0
Mar 27 19:50:14 peabrain pppd[477]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
Works fine as root...
Mar 27 19:50:16 peabrain modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-21
Mar 27 19:50:16 peabrain modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-26
Mar 27 19:50:16 peabrain modprobe: can't locate module ppp-compress-24
This problem started after I upgraded the kernel but if anyone knows what to
do with it...
These aren't major problems since this is my home machine and I can always
log on as root, but I'd like to get things working smoothly like they were
before.
Here's some relevant information about my system
RedHat 5.1, installed pppd 2.3.6 via rpm, Linux Kernel 2.2.4-ac1
if anyone can help I'd appreciate it...
Thanks,
--Erico.
