Hello there,

I've just realised POP3 and SMPT transfer via PPP on my pc (SuSE 6.4) at
home.
Because my wife uses it too, I tried to keep it as simple as possible
and activated dial-on-demand.
Now I would like to have a possibility to hangup the dialup-connection for
every user,
not just root. I tried several solutions, but they all have the problem, that
root is the owner
of pppd and the only one, able to kill pppd.

Is there any solution ?

Thanks.

Gerd
