I was wondering if anybody could help me with a dial-up problem. I stumbled upon kppp after having played about with network configuration (I think that was what it was called - this is being written from other than inside Linux). Anyway, kppp is configured but I don't want to have to enter the root password every time. I have so far tried in vain to change group ownership on the following files to a group I created called Dialup

/dev/modem
/dev/ttyS4 (what /dev/modem links to)
/usr/bin/kppp
/usr/bin/consolehelper (what kppp links to ???)

and I have put myself in the Dialup group yet it still asks me for the root password. Thanks for any help that can be thrown my way.
