From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011014 Description of problem: If I run rp3 as a user (i.e. normally) there is no button to connect, nor is there an option to connect when right clicking on panel applet. I *have* selected 'user may connect / disconnect' so it is something of a mystery what is wrong. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run rp3 as user 2. Have the desire to connect, but realise there isn't an option to. (3. Abandon that, and run kppp as root...) Actual Results: No option to dial Expected Results: User should be allowed to dial up and connect to their ISP Additional info:
I have exactly the same problem. I have to su to a root-privileged account to run rp3 properly. This did not happen in 6.1 and 7.0.
I had this problem with RH 7.1 and 7.2: adding rp3 to the Gnome panel gives me the dialer with no button to select to connect! The problem is that rp3-config does not set the permissions correctly on the ifcfg-ppp* scripts that it creates in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. If you create a new ppp account and then use rp3 you are asked to choose ppp0 as the interface rather than the name you gave rp3-config (eg MyISP). As root, chmod 755 the ifcfg-ppp* scripts. I've not tried to see if chmod 644 or even chmod 444 will do but the other ifcfg-* scripts are 755 by default.
I have the same basic problems with rp3 on my system. I tried changing the permissions on all the ifcfg scripts that were relevant, but rp3 still doesnt work. I am running Redhat 7.2, rp3-1.1.10-3.
refer to bug 55584. there is a solution.
