another glitch I found in the redhat upgrade!




the permitions on pppd have changed, and I had to manually fix it this
morning, otherwise my users couldn't connect!

RedHat will NOT warn you when permitions change!

bit:root /usr/sbin >chown root.ppp pppd
bit:root /usr/sbin >chmod 4750 pppd
bit:root /usr/sbin >ls -la pppd
-rwsr-x---   1 root     ppp         74580 Aug 29 20:33 pppd 

or else it was not suid-root.
of you want to risk using something like sudo, I guess no problem
though...
