does anyone know how i can make kppp (the ppp thing in KDE) SU root or something like that? i want to be able to do kppp while i'm on as a regular user. i can execute kppp, but it's the pppd that doesn't work, so i guess that's really what i meant. has anyone done this? i have to start up kde as root then execute kppp, then exit out of kde, then execute kde as a reg. user to surf the web (because i've been told it's not good to run netscape or irc or anything like that as root, for security reasons), which get's real annoying. then i have to kill pppd to sign off. then to sign back on i have to exit out of kde as reg. user, restart as root, etc. you get the idea. thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
