Modem Connectivity in MPC
¾ To make modem connectivity available on Unix, Linux,
and Mac OS for non-root users:
1. As the root, change the group for /etc/ppp directory and required
files:
a. chgrp uucp /etc/ppp
b. chgrp uucp /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
c. chgrp uucp /etc/ppp/peers
2. Change the permissions for /etc/ppp chmod g+rwx /etc/ppp
3. Change the permissions for /etc/ppp/pap-secrets chmod g+rwx
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
4. Change the permissions for /etc/ppp/peers chmod g+rwx
/etc/ppp/peers
5. Set the suid bit to pppd chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd (/usr/bin/pppd
depending on the location of pppd)
6. Assign users to the uucp group:
a. /usr/sbin/usermod -G {existing groups for user1},uucp user1
b. /usr/sbin/usermod -G {existing groups for user2},uucp user2, etc.
7. When logged in as the normal user, update the path for access to
pppd and the chat export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin (/usr/bin
depending on the location of pppd).
Note: For both root and non-root users, ensure that the options file exists
under /etc/ppp
