Re: KDE's PPP Tool

[Tighe <emry@accessus.net>]

Are you doing an su or an su -?  If you want to run it from the command
line, then just do the su it will keep your DISPLAY variable set teh
same.  But, if you want to be able to do it normally.  You are going to
need to set teh SUID bit on the program.  chmod 4755 should do the trick.
