Volker, There is no such Icon on the KDE panel. KPPP has only ever appeared under Redhat -> Internet ->More Internet Applications
It's helpful of you to suggest it, but I'm fairly sure I didn't do anything wrong. The icon that you speak of was never there. This is a default home user install of Redhat 9. If you check Google you come up with countless others who are asking the same question. It's just that most people seem to put up with a solution that leaves root vulnerable! Michael.

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 dialing. 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 internet 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? --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message generated in webmail.
