KPPP question


Hi folks,

Fedora Core 2
KDE desktop

KPPP can be started and login as ROOT to connect ISP. But the browser must be started as ROOT as well to browse Internet. As USER the browser can't browse Internet even ISP connected.

Please advise where I have to configure to allow USER to connect ISP (via KPPP) and to browse Internet as well. TIA

B.R.

You should not have to be in root to start KPPP. Is it that your trying to control Internet access from users? If that is the case then you can setup suders to allow access to opening Mozilla as a user.

do a "man sudoers" before editing this file...

In root:
vi /etc/sudoers

This is just one of the reasons that i ALWAYS log on to Linux as root. It makes life sooooooo
much easier, sort of like using Windows.
Am i reading you right that as user you make a connection to your isp and kppp minimizes itself to the taskbar?
