I am having problems with user acccounts for kppp and pppd. When trying to connect with kppp, I got a message saying could not access /var/syslog /var/messages /var/syslog.ppp. I went and did a chmod 755 to pppd and kppp and the /var/syslog & /var/messages. /var/syslog.ppp does not exist.

After trying again, I now get an error message that it cannot open the ppp log file. I can't see a ppp.log file anywhere.

As root, I can log connect no probs. Similarly, if I su from a terminal and start kppp, I can also connect. It just doesn't want to let me connect as a normal user.

My modem and connection settings are fine, as they both work on RH and Slackware, just not on this distro (Knoppix).
