try this (including the patch of ifdown-ppp):

I set up ppp on my Intel box running RedHat 4.0 (with all updates) with
netcfg. As root i can start and end ppp connections with no problem using the
scripts from netcfg, i.e.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
now to run the above as a regular user, i installed sudo (contrib rpm) and set
the two above command with visudo, so i can do:
sudo /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-p
pp0
and
sudo /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg
-ppp0
[followup of my previous post]
trying to figure out what was going on, it turns out that the line:
pppdpid=`ps aul | awk '$4 ~ /^'"$daemonpid"'$/ {print $3}'`
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-ppp should be (here on my system at
least, correct me if i'm wrong):
pppdpid=`ps aulx | awk '$4 ~ /^'"$daemonpid"'$/ {print $3}'`
otherwise ps wil not report all processes including the ones that are not link
to a TTY (right?) which is the case for processes started from tkgoodstuff
when running xdm i guess... anyway, is this a bug? or is there a better way
arround this. The above change works for me at least.
Regards.
