I have a local machine (kernel 2.0.18, pppd 2.2) connected to a remote
machine (kernel 1.2.13, pppd 2.1.2) by modem. When logged on to the
local machine as root, DNS works appropriately. When logged on as a
user, I can ping other addresses by name but clients (eg ftp, netscape)
do not resolve host names. This sounds like a permissions problem but I
can't find where I've gone wrong. BTW, the problem is not with the
remote machine because I can telnet to the remote machine and DNS works
as it should for all users.

Any suggestions?

Kevin.
