Fedora Core 4 Tips
Problem: cannot find /dev/modem
Solution:
Create a file modem.rules tn the directory /etc/udev/rules.d and put there a following code:
KERNEL=”ttyS1″, SYMLINK=”modem”
where ttyS1 is a modem port. You can find it using utility wvconf:
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Note: you have to be root to do that!
Problem: KPPP need to be executed from root.
Solution:
- Change symlink /usr/bin/kppp – it should point to /usr/sbin/kppp instead of consolehelper
- Set SUID on /usr/bin/kppp:
chmod +s /usr/bin/kppp
