Package: kppp
KDE Version: 1.1.2
RedHat 6.1

If I try to open Kppp as any user other than root, Kppp puts up a
dialog asking for "Root's Password:"  I have read and re-read, I have
setuid root to all my devices, to pppd, to kppp, and I have given rw
permissions to everything I can think of.  I have tried setting up a
"pppusers" group with the appropriate permissions set, all to no
avail.

I had this working in the version of kppp that shipped with Red Hat 6.0,
and I was most pleased.  Now I am not.

Tony Reed.
