Hello, For some reason, after upgrading from 6.1 to 6.2 kppp dies with the following after I enter my root password into userhelper's prompt (I am running as a regular user): Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server kppp: cannot connect to X server :0.0 However, when I do su -c kppp and type in my root password, kppp connects to the X server and runs fine. What gives?
Here is a solution. 1) Add the following line to /etc/security/pam_env.conf XAUTHORITY DEFAULT=${HOME}/.Xauthority 2) Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/kppp , right before all other "auth" lines: auth optional /lib/security/pam_env.so Works for me!

Change "SESSION=false" to "SESSION=true" in /etc/security/console.apps/kppp. This is done in rawhide.
