3809 2000-01-17 02:39:00 Hi,
I have Zipslack installed on my Pentium 120, 16MB PC, and have had trouble connecting to the Net using the ppp-go command. Everything works fine when I am root, but when using a created user and issuing this command, I get the following error message:

/usr/sbin/pppd: must be root to run /usr/sbin/pppd, since it is not setuid root

Can you please help me out here, as I don't want to be surfing the Net as root!
Cheers in advance,
