Re: ppp and gnome

[Tim Lewis <talewis worldnet att net>]

This is a ppp issue.  As root, go to /usr/sbin and ls pppd:

ls -l pppd

something like the following should appear:

-rwsr-xr-x   1 root      root     112372 May 5 09:03  pppd

If not, type:

chown root:root pppd      ;if 'root   root' isn't present, then:


chmod 755 pppd

then:

chmod u+s pppd


This should get you there.
