I am using RedHat Linux 9 and entered the following commands in order to get non-root dialup:
chmod u+s `which kppp`
chmod u+s `which pppd`
Now I get no response when I choose the Kppp item from the KDE menu in RedHat and cannot start kppp except as root. This is the opposite of what I was trying to achieve. When I type the command for kppp from a terminal as a non root user I also get no response. Before I entered the above commands the same action would ask me for my root password and then proceed to start up kppp
How do I undo the above commands and restore the menu response in KDE?
