I don't quite follow. There's a little plug icon in the KDE panel, right clicking allows to choose a provider etc, left clicking dials the last selected provider. You have to enter the details for each provider once, tick whether you want to store the dialup password on the system or enter it each time (a little window pops up when you click dial), and you tick whether you want demand dialling. That's it, only the provider details need to be entered as root (for obvious reasons). Any user can dial. No other need for root. And it's been like that for at least the past 2 distro versions. It's using kinternet though, not kppp, and you may have found the reason why. > Linux is still pretty cool, but I need to be able to stop novice users from > lousing up the setup I give them but at the same time I need them to be able > to _easily_ use the GUI so that it is a viable solution to Windoze. Yep, no problem. Out of the box. What did you do wrong? Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
