KPPP: why root?

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



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
