* Jeremy Vandenhouten <jeremy.vandenhouten@marquette.edu> [20001011 17:22]:
=>The man page for ppp states:
=>ppp will not run if the invoking user id is not zero. This
=> may be overridden by using the ``allow users'' command in
=> /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.
=>
=>Where exactly do I need to put this (under default?) so other users can
=>use ppp and what exactly do I need to put there?
In the defaults section, or on the label that you've created for them.
default:
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
set device /dev/cuaa0
set speed 38400
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT \
OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATm1l3DT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
set log local LCP IPCP CCP
allow users user1 user2 user3 ...userN
Then you have to add them to the 'network' /etc/group
network:*:69:user1 user2 user3...userN
Hope that helps.
