quick question.. important to me.

[LostInLinux]

I need to know how to make my KPPP executable for all users that I want it to be.. but w/o having to type in root password. Can someone please give me a slight clue as to how this would be possible?

THNX in advance.

Straight from the KDE Kppp Handbook:

6.1.2. Restricting access kppp's way

Before doing anything, kppp checks if there is a file named /etc/kppp.allow. If such a file exists, only users named in this file are allowed to dial out. This file must be readable by everyone (but of course NOT writable.) Only login names are recognized, so you cannot use UID's in this file. Here is a short example:

# /etc/kppp.allow
# comment lines like this are ignored
# as well as empty lines

fred
karl
daisy

In the example above, only the users fred, karl and daisy are allowed to dial out, as well as every user with a UID of 0 (so you don't have to explicitly list root in the file).
