Hi all,
Sorry, if it is posted twice.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help me in solving my problem. The answer given
by Ray solved this. What I don't understand is, how does the misbehavior of
netscape changed the permission of a file? Because pppd was working fine till
that. Is there any bug in netscape or ezppp?
Anyway thanks once again
