Dear experts please help.
I have installed ppp and it works. However as ordinary user I get strange
error messages.
Here my setup:
login : hols
I have created a group pppusers in which my login figures
more /etc/group
...
pppusers:x:101:hols,nagie,root
the files for ppp look as follows
-rwxr-x--- 1 root pppusers /etc/ppp/options
-rwxr-x--- 1 root pppusers /etc/ppp/pppondialer #my chat script
-rwxr-x--- 1 root pppusers /usr/bin/pppoff
-rwxr-x--- 1 root pppusers /usr/bin/pppon
-rwxr-x--- 1 root pppusers /usr/sbin/chat
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root pppusers /usr/sbin/pppd ->pppd-2.2
-rws--x--- 1 root pppusers /usr/sbin/pppd-2.2
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 4, 65 /dev/ttyS1
Now as super user the sripts /usr/bin/pppon and /usr/bin/pppoff work fine
But as user hols (who belongs to the group pppusers
[cat /etc/group ---> ... pppusers:x:101:hols,nagie,root]) the script
starts running (=no authorization error) but it does not work. I get the
following error in my log-files
Nov 19 10:51:57 scorpion pppd[182]: pppd 2.2.0 started by hols, uid 1000
Nov 19 10:51:58 scorpion pppd[182]: Connect script failed
Nov 19 10:51:58 scorpion pppd[182]: Connect script failed
What can I do?
Thank you very much for your help,
cheers, Matthias
