Hi all,

I have two problems with PPP (RH 4.0):
1:  I can kill my ppp connection, but then it automatically dials
again.   To kill the connection, I run ppp-off, which simply calls:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0

2: When I do a ppp-on (which is simply
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0) I get the following message:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp: /var/run/ifup-ppp-ppp0.pid:
Permission denied

I think I have all of the file permissions set ok:
-rwsr-sr-x   1 root     modem        1545 Aug 28 17:59
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp
What gives?

Thanks

Paul
