I have setup the ppp connection using the netcfg utility on Red Hat 5.2 at
home. I set the option to allow other users to (de)activate the ppp
connection. Everything works fine.

Yesterday I set up a ppp connection for a friend on his Red Hat 5.2
machine (that I installed for him also). I also set the allow any user to
(de)activate the ppp connection. It does not work fine.

If he starts /sbin/ifup ppp0 he gets his ppp connection fine but he cannot
access the DNS. If he is using the root account, he has access to the
DNS.

Has anyone come accross this problem before? Is there a simple solution
for it?

Thanks.
