Re: pppd daemon dies unexpectedly

["Hall" <dhs erinet com>]

Go to the home page for gnome-ppp... When you get there, click on the link
for a program called "ezppp" and read the docs for it. I believe gnome-ppp
is an update of ezppp --  a totally different program/re-write, I don't
know.

The docs, README, etc tell *exactly* how to deal with this problem... I
think, from memory, that you need to do the same "chmod" command to
/usr/bin/pppd, *not* the file you changed. That file is only used by
RedHat's networkconfig utility, not the standard pppd file. Again, this is
from memory, so read the instructions and do what they say.

Good luck,
Hall

Subject: pppd daemon dies unexpectedly

Hi,

I'm new to the list and I'm having some trouble with gnome-pppd. I'm running
RH5.2, gnome 1.0 and enlightenment. I used ntcfg as root to configure my ppp
account and I can connect fine as root. When I log in with a normal user
account and startx I tried configuring the ppp dialup utility in gnome and
it connects fine but will only stay connected for a minute. Then I get an
error that says the pppd daemon died unexpectedly. I've changed the
ownership of the ppp0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts using chmod
u+s. I've also edited that same file so that ppp will start at boot. Could
someone point me in the right direction as to what the roblem may be?
