Hi everyone,
I am having some permission problem with starting
up pppd Mandrake 9.0.
OK here is the situation:
I wrote a script that starts a dialup connection to
Jaring and another to disconnect. As root it works fine.
So next what I did was changed the script's
permission by giving setting SUID bit ("u + s") and "o + rx". When I ran
the script as a normal user, it says something like "normal user does not have
permission to use this device".
Within my script I actually call "ifup ppp0".
Now if I am not mistaken, SUID for a programme is supposed to assume the
identity of the file's owner instead of the user who initiated it. So what
can be wrong? Is there something I may be missing?
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Venantius.
