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
so far everything works great... now:
i try to run the two above command from the Net client of tkgoodstuff... the
first command to open ppp link works normally, but the second command does
something that i just don't understand:
it runs the command alright since looking at `ps -aul` i don't see pppd of
ifdown left running, however killing pppd there does not hang up my modem,
actually the ppp0 link still shows up in ifconfig.
Has anyone else tried to run these script from tkgoodstuff? any hint as what i
might try? again, everything works perfectly if run from a shell...
Thanks
