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:

  1. Change symlink /usr/bin/kppp – it should point to /usr/sbin/kppp instead of consolehelper
  2. Set SUID on /usr/bin/kppp:
    chmod +s /usr/bin/kppp
