Mail from ILUG-BOM list (Non-Digest Mode) Next Meeting on July 3oth. Please visit the site for details. _______________________________________________ I am now able to connect to the net by using wvdial and even with a WindowMaker dock applet without having to set uid on pppd. The work around was that I made the calling program, that is wvdial/dock applet set uid root. And then pppd does not have problem running. Options like noauth, lock, etc. are placed in /etc/ppp/peers/ which pppd accepts even when running as non-root. Wvdial uses its own way of communicating but the WindowMaker dock applet that I use (namely yawmppp - Yet Another WindowMaker PPP) uses scripts which it writes when it is configured. The problem is that when I try to call and run these scripts from other script, pppd tells that I need root priviledges to run it. The calling script is owned by root *and* setuid root. I can't figure out why is pppd then refusing to run. What could be the problem? Thanks, Rajen. _______________________________________________ Website: http://www.ilug-bom.org.in/ilug Linuxers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
