alish LQ Newbie Registered: Sep 2007 Location: Russia, Tomsk Posts: 4 Rep:	Running pppd with sudo I'm not sure that my problem is related to security. There is PPTP connection with our MS VPN server (ISA Server but it's not important for now). When connecting under root all OK (pppd call myconn). When trying to connect under user with sudo rights connection hangs up immediately (sudo pppd call myconn) without any errors. So, I added `debug` to the PPP options and `--loglevel 2` to PPTP call command but id didn't help me. What's the possible reason for that behavior? OS: Fedora 7 (2.6.22.9-91.fc7) - ppp-2.4.4-2 (RPM) - pptp-1.7.1-3 (RPM)
