On the other hand, on my Red Hat machine, the equivalent to kppp is 'rp3' (which may be a GNOME thingy, though I suspect that "rp3" is short for "Red Hat ppp"); and its config program is 'rp3-config'. Once 'rp3' has been configured for any user, then that user can just use it. However, configuring 'rp3' means running 'rp3-config' and this will certainly ask for the root password (and quit if it doesn't get it).

All of which makes me wonder whether you're really using 'kppp': maybe what you're getting is 'rp3'?

Well, I'm writing this using my RedHat box....

I had no joy with Kppp. There were no man pages, and the KDE help didn't.;-)

I then tried rp3. If I went thru rp3, I had no luck (I had ppp0 and loopback as choices). Going through the configurator through *that* didn't help, even if I added a new account.

I then invoked rp3-config directly, set up a new interface and voila... seems that you have to do it directly! (it's the only thing I did different, and that's a bug IMO)

So now all I need to do is put my favourite progs on the RH machine.

Many thanks for the help!
