You did not mention what version of SuSE you are using but there was a problem with kppp a little while back. Check that you have this file /etc/ppp/peers/kppp if not you can create it with a text editor and add the following line. plugin passwordfd.so Please have a look at http://toganm.tripod.com/ppp.html Regards, Graham Smith --------------------------------------------------------- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
