Can't explain it but, I get similar when I use it. Linuxconf wants to
change permissions on pppd, making it totally unuseable by anyone other
than root. It also wants to remount my ZIP drive both at boot time and
every time I open and end a Linuxconf session. I have no idea where it
gets its info but, it wants to change everything about how I have it
set up in fstab, not allowing users to mount/unmount, changing
read/write permissions, etc.

I distinctly remember forgetting that.
