FW: chmod u+s
Hello all,
I have a questions that I can not seem to find the answer to. I have set up
a linux box as a ppp server and a mail server. I have installed smail and qpopper. Both
are working quite well. I can finally use MS exchange client and Pegasus mail to get mail
off my server.
I do have one major problem. I have been trying to set up a ppp server. I have done it in the
past using mgetty and AutoPPP. Unfortunately, when I chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd, no error message
is generated. However, if I try and run it without being root, I get an error message. Do I need to
add a su or suid package to make it work. Su works on my machine. Is chmod broken or do I not
know what I am doing? (I probably don't know what I am doing)
Another question. Has any body used apsfilter, mgetty, diald as decribed by J Pollman (listed a a new link on LDP,
A Home Server with Linux. This set up would be perfect for my home network. I have static ip numbers. Debian
does this differently than Slackware and Redhat.
Thanks.
Lester
