when a users dials to isp, kppp returns 'unable to open modem'
however, success when root user can dial isp, with no errors or time outs.
the users are members of group 'dip'
the file permissions for pppd are set to suid
the gid for kppp and pppd are set as 'dip'
this is a debian box, with kde 3.1.4 and running kernel 2.4.18 compiled for this box.
this occurs for existing and new users.
this started to occur after upgrading kde to 3.1.4 from original knoppix install
(to run gnucash 1.8.7)
and kde has some problems, ie kde doesn't displaying some fonts, e.g. in kde help konsole and sysV-init editor, and and X display on monitor is reduced vertically (vertically challenged?)
getting exasperated, maybe a kde downgrade? any help appreciated (esp on dialout, help other stuff is also appreciated) TIA Russell (baffled again by linux...)
