This is very similar to a problem I encountered when I moved from a (very
patched RedHat 5.0) to Mandrake 6.0.  I made chat suid root also and now
have no problems connecting.  I don't know if there are any security
problems with this however.

another problem I encountered was that the kppp from kde version 1.1.1 made
my whole connection slow to 600 bytes per second.  I downgraded to the kppp
that came in kde 1.1 and am back to normal.  No idea on what to do with that
one.

>Ok now here is a KDE question,  I've got two other users that use my Linux
box
and would like to connect to the Internet, but can't.  I get the following
message when I try to use KPPP.

	"PPPD is not properly installed.
	 The PPPD binary must be installed
	 with the SUID bit set.  Contact...."

Can someone explain what this means?  I can use it fine as root but not as a
normal user.  How can this be fixed?

Thanks in advance..

Sincerely,
