How to share kppp with all non-root users

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi List,

I recently installed Fedora Core1.I am a migrant from MS Windows fascinated by the ideology of free software

My box is for home use with other family members sharing it.Each has a user account.Each needs to connect to Internet.But Kppp doesn't allow any non-root users to launch it without providing root password.

I tried creating a dialout group and putting all users in that group along with the root as suggested by the Kppp manual.Now /usr/bin/consolehelper,/usr/bin/kppp>consolehelper link,usr/sbin/kppp all are groupowned by dialout group.This didn't work.I tried putting pppd also on this owner-group.Still it doesn't work,not only that I cannot run kppp now - unlike earlier - without expressly specifying 'run as root'.

Can anybody suggest me ways to share kppp without requiring to provide root password.

Thanx all,

Parameshwara Bhat
