pppsetup

I can only use pppsetup, ppp-go under root and not under any other users, anyone know why?

ls -l filename

will give you the permissions of the file and the owner and group

if the owner is root and group is root and the file is listed as -rwxr-x--- or something like that then only root will be able to execute it

on way to fix this is to create a new group like pppgroup then change the files group to pppgroup

then add users to the new group so they will have exec permission

so for the ls -l filename, what would be the filename?

the file you are trying to run, like ppp-go

as far as pppsetup it would be wise to just leave it as root only since you should not have to set it up but once
