kppp & non root users
Hi All,
I need a bit of help here, I am trying to get kppp to work with a normal
user. The user is a member of dialup and dip. Every time the user dials
up I get the following output to the console (I started kppp from
command line):
craig@craig:/usr/share/doc/kppp$ kppp
Opener: received SetSecret
Opener: received OpenLock
Opener: received OpenDevice
Opener: received ExecPPPDaemon
In parent: pppd pid 2040
Kernel supports ppp alright.
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
Couldn't find interface ppp0: No such device
It was pppd that died
pppd exited with return value 19
Sending 2036 a SIGUSR1
Opener: received RemoveSecret
Opener: received RemoveSecret
Opener: received OpenResolv
Opener: received OpenResolv
error opening resolv.conf!
Opener: received RemoveLock
Opener: received PPPDExitStatus
Opener: received OpenSysLog
According to man pppd, exit code 19 is failure to authenticate to peer.
I have checked the username and passwords and they are correct.
If I run kppp as root with the same settings, it dials up fine without
problems.
I am convinced it has something to do with permissions, but don't know
what more to check. I'm running sid & KDE3.
TIA
Craig
