George,
Someone on the Red Hat 7.3 mailing list had this work-around for your
KPPP problem.

Subject:
[luau] KPPP Permissions in Red Hat?
From: Joe Linux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I got the screen resolution set up correctly thanks to Warren. The file
permissions are correct on the /home directory. BUT, kppp requires root
permission. I tried to fix it, but hosed the system. How does one give
a user permission to launch kppp in Red Hat?
Here's what I did to fix this. Note that it may be bypassing a RedHat security
feature of some kind. But it's very annoying to me to have to become root to
connect to the internet!
as root:
Copy /usr/sbin/kppp to /usr/bin/kppp so that an ordinary user can find the file.
Then set the setuid bit: chmod +s /usr/bin/kppp
If you want an icon on you're desktop, you can copy:
cp /usr/share/applnk/Internet/Kppp.desktop /home/<you>/Desktop
There may be a better or more secure fix but this works.
Phil
