Did this. I had it setup s root.dialer, all the execute, r, w,
permissions were set fine. Both with KDE's file manager and ls -la.
No go still get the permission denied. I am logged in as root for all
this btw. So I changed ownership to root.root and did the chmod 755 on
it, just to see, still access denied.
thinking there is something in the file causing the problem, here are
the contents with the appropriate stuff ***'d out:
#!/bin
TELEPHONE=*******
MODEM=/DEV/TTYS0
SPEED=230400
ACCOUNT=*******
EXPORT TELEPHONE
# for chat use
exec /usr/sbin/pppd $MODEM $SPEED lock crtscts modem defaultroute \
user $ACCOUNT no auth noipdefault demand \
connect /usr/sbin/chat ""ATDT$TELEPHONE CONNECT ""'

Nothing showed up in /var/log/messages but the rmmod every 5 mins, btw
is that right? can I kill that or should I let it play?
