Re: [ossig] SUID problems

["Venantius Kumar" <venks@hitts.com>]

Its not a hardware problem, since I can actually dial out --- using "ifup
ppp0" and also I can straight dialout using "wvdial Jaring" and get
connected.  But here I am using wvdial as chat replacement --> "connect
/usr/bin/wvdial Jaring --chat".  This statement is in my /etc/ppp/options
file.


regards,
Venantius.
