Hi All,
I'm wondering about something that seems a bit odd. I've setup a CentOS 4 box for a client that is "still" using dial-up and to activate the connection appears to require root privileges. Why is this?
The reason Linux was loaded on this box was to provide a very functional box that could be easily locked down so when the cat was away the mice couldn't play, however, if the mice need root access to activate the dial-up connection this really defeats the purpose.
Whats up with Kppp needing root access?
thanks,
Mark
