When I try to run my ppp-on command as a non-root user, I get the
following error:
[pww@ozymandias present]$ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
[pww@ozymandias present]$ /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp:
/var/run/ifup-ppp-ppp0.pid: Permission denied
It looks to me like it is complaining about being unable to write the
/var/run/ifup-ppp-ppp0.pid file.
Here are the relevent permissions:
[pww@ozymandias present]$ ls -l /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root modem 1711 Sep 10 12:52
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup
[pww@ozymandias present]$ ls -l /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root modem 1545 Nov 6 08:49
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp
[pww@ozymandias present]$ ls -l /var

drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 1024 Nov 4 10:22 tmp
[pww@ozymandias present]$
I can't see why it would fail since the scripts are suid root. Anyone
have any clues? Thanks.
Paul
