I'm getting the following PPP error (using pppd version 2.3 patch level
5) with Linux version 2.2.7 (SuSE 6.1).  I just recently recompiled my
kernel out of necessity and now I get the following error when trying to
establish a dialup connection with pppd.

ioctl(PPPIOCGUNIT) permission denied(1)

I have a dual processor pentium pro and when I compile dual processor
support into the kernel I get the
above error when I try to dialout.  If i remove the dual support from
the kernel compile it works well.

Now I'm logged in as root, and I have set the pppd permissions as I've
seen they should be.  I also compiled ppp support into the kernel.  One
thing that seems strange is that when I boot up I get messages about PPP
being loaded which I dont remember seeing in my boot ups before I
recompiled the kernel.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
