Is it kppp configuration in Redhat 7.0.? Setting up the ordinary user to use kppp in Redhat 7.0 involves adding users to the "pppusers" group in the /etc/group file and changing over to pppusers group for the modem device, with rw permissions.
If the modem is on /dev/ttyS2 (com 3) #chgrp pppusers /dev/ttyS2 #chmod g+rw /dev/ttyS2 /usr/bin/consolehelper and /usr/sbin/pppd work for me in RH7 as #chmod ug+rx #chgrp root /usr/bin/kppp is a soft link to consolehelper. The other user permission required for kppp is pam authentication. In /etc/pam.d/kppp change the first line: auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rootok.so to: auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_permit.so cheers, Keith.
