Yep, that did the trick.  Thanks!  Now, my next question regards things that
change permissions while you're not looking.  For instance, I changed the
groups on my /etc/ppp directory yesterday (mentioned in my last post), and
today it was changed back to root:root.  Is this something that might be a
cron job?  I must admit ignorance to cron syntax...  What should I look for?

Thanks again,
