% netcfg will NOT run as a normal user...and shouldn't! If you just
want to
% activate or deactivate interfaces with non-root accounts, select
"allow
% other users to (de)activate interface" option in netcfg (as root).
Then,
% to actually activate or deactivate the interface, use:
%
% /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup ifcfg-ppp0
% /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown ifcfg-ppp0
%
% these commands willl activate and deactivate ppp0 from any user.
