Only root access the internet

2005-06-03 Thread xxx xxx

Hi all,

I'm trying for the last 6 months to connect to the Internet as an ordinary 
user but only root can! I gave full permissions to pppd, all /etc/ppp files, 
kppp, wvdial. I can connect but when I open Mozilla I can't connect 
anywhere. Only root can! I tried to use pon with no result. I'm using Debain 
Woody v3 r2 k2.4.18

Any advice would be appreciated!

Now that you've modified pppd permissions and files, I'd go ahead and
reinstall pppd as well to fix all the permissions.

I don't suppose the perms on /etc/resolv.conf are muffed?

Can you connect with Mozilla using address instead of name?
