I wouldn't want a CD where user PPP is not working right. User PPP works right... just "differently" than before. A specific reference to the different behaviour should be noted on the CD of course, but I think userland PPP is quite stable and working better than ever. When I unwittingly ran the new PPP for the first time, it exited with the "must be user ID 0" thing, after which I quickly man'ed PPP and read about the new behaviour. It would be nice to add "... user ID 0 (root)" to the error message though, since there might be newbies that don't equate userid 0 to the root login... cya, -Mark > > John > -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com RingZero Comp. http://vinyl.quickweb.com/mark finger mark@quickweb.com for my PGP key and GCS code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The newest book, The Dilbert Future, took a broader view, describing how idiots will threaten every aspect of business, technology and society in the future." --Scott Adams
