hi
what you need to do is change the permissions on kppp. Open konqueror in Super
User mode. you will find the menu entry for this is in system>more programs.
go to /usr/bin and sroll down until you find the kppp entry. right click on
it to get the properties srceen. select the perrmissions tab and select the
exec/others option. then try kppp again.
Note: for changing perrmissions, which is what we are doing here, there is a
faster way from the command line. If any one knows this please post it.
hope this helps
pete
