Re: pon dsl-provider

[Robert Storey <y2kbug@ms25.hinet.net>]

Dear Rafael,

For normal users to be able to start "pon dsl-provider", /usr/sbin/pppoe
has to be suid root. You can set that like this:

chmod +s /usr/sbin/pppoe

After you've done that, permission levels should look like this:

bob@sonic:~> ls -l /usr/sbin/pppoe
-rwsr-xr--    1 root     dip         31020 Sep 17 03:13 /usr/sbin/pppoe

Note that this would also be true of /usr/sbin/pppd if you were using a
dial-up modem (rather than adsl).

regards,
Robert
