Re: ppp dialup

["Joseph de los Santos" <jh0u hotmail com>]

hi,
if you're using stormlinux then probably it's the same as debian because 
stormlinux is based on the debian distribution (I think) if that's the case 
just add the user you want to be able to dialout to the group dip. the 
syntax is <adduser username dip>. that user should now be able to use ppp.

hth,

jhou
