I have both a desktop and a laptop running FreeBSD. For some reason I
can use ppp as a normal user on the desktop, but not on the laptop. I
checked the usual suspects, but on both boxes:

I'm member of the group network
I'm listed in the "allow users" entry in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
I'm actually member of the group wheel too, if that matters

On the laptop, running ppp (with or without further options) results
just in a usage message. Needless to say that I installed both boxes
from the same CD (4.3 STABLE), and that I can't remember to do
anything special about access rights on either of these boxes.

Any hints?

regards,
Markus
