odd behaviour of wvdial
Ok, this is regarding my internet connection using wvdial. Im using Fedora core 4 by the way. If i use kppp i can connect to the net fine and everything works away ok but I prefer to use wvdial. For some reason though if i type wvdial at the command line i get
Code:
[nnp@main ~]$ wvdial I set the permissions the same as root so i dont think its that. Code:
[root@main nnp]# cd /usr/bin Code:
[Dialer Defaults] Any ideas? NNP |
I had this exact same problem and like you I'd verified all the permissions were set correctly. The only way I found to resolve the problem was to make wvdial setuid root:
Code:
chmod o+s `which wvdial` |
Wierd, is this a Fedora Core problem? I never had this while using Mandriva.

Ok i've done that and its still the same crap. ANy ideas? Here is the output
Code:
[nnp@main ~]$ su |
Odd. Looks like the chmod command didn't work. Try it like this instead:
Code:
chmod o+s /usr/bin/wvdial |
