Re: pppd daemon dies unexpectedly

No, there's no incompatibility. I use a modified RH 5.1 machine and I use
gnome-ppp with no problems. Are you positive that your secrets files in
/etc/ppp are configured correctly?

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?
