I imagine this one's been asked before, but I can't seem to find it. Finally got XF86-4.0.2 installed and working after lots of trial and error. Now I can't ppp except as root. When I try I'm told that /etc/ppp/ppp.conf can't be found when of course it exists, I'm just not permitted to "see" it as a regular user. If someone will either tell me how to get my permissions set up properly or point me to a good reference where I can find out for myself, it would be very much appreciated.
