Yup. Got past that part, though I might point out that in the ppp man page
it states:
"PERMISSIONS
By default, 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."
Hence the confusion.
However, now that I'm past that, I get a message in my /var/log/messages
file saying:
Jul 8 18:14:52 beacon ppp[756]: Warning: OpenTunnel: No such file or
directory
But the thing is that I *DO* have a tun0 device, and nothing else is using
it. In fact, I also created a tun1 thru tun3 (and all devices report
tun(x):flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500" as it should), but no
matter what I do, I get this error.
This is user ppp, and I'm attempting to use it in -direct mode with 2.2.6.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
