Hi everyone What I'm trying to do seems very simple but I'm having terrible difficulty with it. My set up at home is a LAN with 2 dual boot Windows/Linux PCs and a server running RH8. I have a dial up connection to Freeserve. I want to be able to provide a link to start pppd from a web page. i.e. from one of the Windows PCs I can dial up an internet connection by clicking a link (rather than having to ssh into my server and running the script manually) I created a shell script and suid'd it (to allow the user 'apache' to run the script.) The script will start but I then had a permissions problem with /dev/ttyS0. To test I did chmod 777 /dev/ttyS0 (and also chmod u+s /dev/ttyS0 and chmod g+s /dev/ttyS0 !) The script still failed... Is there anything I'm missing ? Obviously without the script you may have problems (if so I'll mail it when I get home from work!)
