By the way I cannot use RH Dialer since (may be) something is different on the internal commands of the mobile telephone's modem,for this reason I realized a script that I can use *only* by setting /usr/sbin/pppd with the following permissions: [root linux run]# ls -la /usr/sbin/pppd -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 213202 lug 22 2002 /usr/sbin/pppd permissions= 104755 I now have two problems/questions: 1) Is there another way to activate /dev/ttyS0 with ppp without using SETUID ? 2) Whenever I activate the interface,which command should I run to shut-down it? Note that I WANT use this interface as user and not as ROOT!
