Hi all.
Not sure if this is the right place for this but I'll try. Please
steer me along on my way if you all have better ideas. <g>
I have a Redhat 7.2 install and KDE 2.2.2 and I'm using kppp for my
dial up connection. I have just installed a dedicated line in this
remote place so the connection can be up for extended periods.
This is a stand alone machine.
I want to have my account available "startx -- :1" while the family
log-on screen is available on "ctrl-alt-F7" as is normal with a gui
log-on. If I start the connection from my ":1" display, then have
someone else log-on at the ":0" display when I'm away, I'd like the
":0" display kmail and browsers to have access to the connection.
I seem not to have this now and wondering how I should go about setting
up internet access for more than one account logged in at the same
time.
I have modified the stock setup some by creating a new group for using
kppp then adding the users to it to run "/usr/sbin/kppp".
[Ian at localhost Ian]$ ls -al /usr/sbin/kppp
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root trusted 475116 Nov 15 2001 /usr/sbin/kppp
Any clues would be appreciated.
Ian.
