pon permissions
On a stand-alone system four users need access to the internet. At
present only root can run pon. I have changed file permissions,
commented auth in /etc/ppp/options, and executed adduser <userid> dip.
Now, when a user tries to start pon, the user gets the message:
must be root to run /usr/sbin/pppd, since it is not setuid-root
I have read the manpages for setuid and seteuid but it is not clear to
me what I should change and the consequences of a file being setuid-root
seem undesirable. Can anyone help resolve this problem?
