You didn't read the docs carefully. Here once more the most common pitfalls.
This means that kppp doesn't have permissions to open the modem device or that you selected a modem device on the Modem Tab Dialog that is not valid. First make sure you selected the right modem device. Once you are sure you have selected the right modem device, you must give kppp the right permission to access the modem device and to be able to modify /etc/resolv.conf in case you want kppp to configure DNS correctly for you. If you can afford to run kppp setuid root this would solve all access problems for you, if not you will have to figure out what the right permissions are for your purposes. In order to give kppp setuid root permissions do the following:
% su root
% chown root:root $(KDEDIR)/bin/kppp
% chmod +s $(KDEDIR)/bin/kppp
% exit
Yes you can. Please the see the section on using PAP and CHAP with kppp in the appendix.
Just follow the TEMPLATE rules files supplied with kppp. You should be
able to find a copy in the $(KDEDIR)/doc/HTML/kppp
.
Use the --checkrules kppp command line options to check the syntax of your proposed
rules file.
I would love to receive any rule files written. I will make them available on my kppp web page. Before you send me a new rules file make sure it is not already available on the kppp web page. Then email the new rules file to me.
In that case you need to write new code that allows for the computation of that holiday. Please have a look at ruleset.cpp and emulate the ``easter'' example. Then send me the patches.
