Hi everybody! When I login as in a 'root' user to dialup my ISP, it is
working with dial up ppp0..... connect, modem, Netscape are fine.  But how
can I use in non-root user (like use my id) to dialup ppp0?
=)Thanks

You can use "sudo" to run any single program needing root access.

I use it all the time here, for pppd, dosemu, etc, and its excellent.

I don't need to add much, just say that I agree with you.  A `sudo'
package is included in slackware.  I didn't find it in RH6.0.
