Hi ,
Just check what is the device ur kppp is trying to connect to... and see whether it is available in /dev/ directory... Check in the steup -> devices ........ of kppp
Just set the 's' bit for kppp , i think then u should be able to connect to net using normal user account.... u canset the bit using " chmod u+s `which kppp` " this command . You got to be root to do this.
Well n joy Tapesh

i have borrowed an external d-link modem, which i've configured thru wvdial (thanx 4 answering my previous mail 2 help me do that) when i try 2 use kppp, it says "sorry, can't open modem"
how do i configure the modem (d-link dfm 560-e (external)) in kppp. also i was able 2 configure my internal modem thru kppp in rhl 7.1 but every time i ran kppp, it asked me for the root passwd. i tried changing the access permissions of /usr/bin/kppp & also /usr/sbin/kppp to 777, but it did not make the problem go. b'coz of the need 2 provide the root passwd every time it is reqd 2 connect 2 the net, i can't have my younger brother access the net thru linux
