I thought it was suon but there's no man pg for that command. 3. i can only use ppp as root. i tried in rc.config: ppp_enable="YES" ppp_mode="auto" ppp_profile="papchap" to be able to use ppp as a user. But this is NOT doing what I want - it dials up ( i don't know where ) at long-in, I REALLY DON"T KNOW WHAT IT"S DOING. All I want is to be able to callup my ISP as as a user ( not only as root which is the only way I can do it right now ). I don't want it dialing automaticly w/out my command. I just want to be able to log on to my isp as a user. THAT"S ALL. 4. cdcontrol expects I have SCSI cd drive it expects /dev/cd0c or cd0. I use acd0. SO I have to enter a whole long command line specifying my device for every command. The man page for cdcontrol says it will default to an env var CD_MUSIC. ok, how do I set that var to /dev/acd0? Right now there's not such var. Thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
