Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have both a desktop and a laptop running FreeBSD. For some reason I can use ppp as a normal user on the desktop, but not on the laptop. I checked the usual suspects, but on both boxes: I'm member of the group network I'm listed in the "allow users" entry in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf I'm actually member of the group wheel too, if that matters On the laptop, running ppp (with or without further options) results just in a usage message. Needless to say that I installed both boxes from the same CD (4.3 STABLE), and that I can't remember to do anything special about access rights on either of these boxes. Any hints? regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/hoenicka_markus/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
