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 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. -->Neil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neil Bradley Synthcom home : http://www.synthcom.com Synthcom Systems, Inc.
