As ROOT kppp works without problem. As USER, request for ROOT password will popup, without ROOT password user is not allowed to run Kppp
Use /usr/sbin/kppp and set SUID on it. chmod +s /usr/sbin/kppp
Then it will work without question for users.
I hope this fixes the OP's problem (it did mine in RH8), but on RH9, at least in my case, it only helps halfway. After setting /usr/sbin/kppp SUID, kppp dials out, begins talking with the ISP, and then dies with this:
: pppd[3660]: By default the remote system is required to authenticate itself
: pppd[3660]: (because this system has a default route to the internet)
: pppd[3660]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.
: pppd[3660]: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.)
I have googled this, and found that using the noauth option for pppd is supposed to help, but not or me. It dies because pppd is not being run from root. I have tried setting /usr/sbin/pppd SUID, but that didn't help.
Any further assistance is greatly appreciated!
