I connect to my ISP via ppp / ISDN. I run isdnd as root, as well as ppp. When trying to use netscape as a normal user a netscape message pops up saying: 'unable to locate server www.bluewin.ch' (My ISP's server or whatever). But if I run netscape as root, there is no problem. I have no explanation for this, since this problem did not exist before I switched to ISDN, i.e. when I used ppp / serial modem. The routing table has the correct entries, I enabled dns in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, the entries in /etc/resolv.conf are correct. My question: Is it possible to avoid running netscape as root ? If so, what needs to be changed in which config file ? Every idea is very appreciated, Best regards, Carlo.
