Modem & "normal" users


This hopefully has a simple solution which is eluding me

I have setup my external modem with slackwares pppsetup utility. Under root I type ppp-go and its dials... have internet connectivity.

However under normal user I type ppp-go and the computer returns a not returned error...

When I type /usr/sbin/ppp-go under a "normal" user console I get a "lstat permission denied error"

I am sure this is a permission problem and need to give normal users pemission to various things... but what?

Any help is appreciated!

Tom

Type chmod u+s `which pppd`
You must be root to do this.
