Overcoming Debian(Linux?) paranoia - a gnome-ppp example
I understand that historically Linux's roots are in a
*MASSIVELY* multi-user environment.
*BUT* I'm a single user on an inherently physically secure
single user laptop.
[As an aside to an ongoing thread, my primary internet
access is via a analog 56K dial-up modem ;]
I just installed Debian 6.0.4 using Synaptic to add gnome-ppp.
My first attempt to configure my modem failed *SILENTLY*
(but's another gripe;)
Being inherently suspicious, I chose 'root terminal'.
Then executed gnome-ppp.
All went fine.
That established I had a "permissions" issue :<
I then did
man gnome-ppp
Received *NO _USEFUL_ info!!!*
I'm the _*ONLY*_ person to have physical access to the system.
How do I force Debian to achieve functionality of CPM-80?
[me date self ;/ LOL!
