I want to make ppp-connection under usual user (if it's safe, for now it is done under root - I'm the only user on this machine)
I hope you're not running *as* root...
i think may this can help me to kill pppd when connection fails and the daemon does not control the situation...
So, i found in ifup-ppp the following line that generate error 36: exec /sbin/ppp-watch "${CONFIG##ifcfg-}" "$2" as I start it simply by typing: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-mf_gprs
If you want to use command lines to go on- and off-line, do it like this:
/sbin/ifup ppp0 /sbin/ifup ppp0
Much simpler, and I'm not sure if you're calling scripts that are meant to be used directly, but those command lines are what I see being used elsewhere as *a* proper way to take an interface on- or off-line.
So want to ask You, how make it done: to make user able to make ppp-connection?
If you set up via "neat" (that's the program name for a GUI tool for configuring networks), there's an option to allow any user to bring the interface on- or off-line. It sets a USERCTL=yes parameter into the appropriate network configuration scripts, which I see replicated in at least three places:
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-pp0 /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-pp0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-pp0
I don't know which are used by what.
