I set up an account in RedHat 9 for my dad to use, and I decided to use KDE for him. I use the network device control to start/stop my modem connection, but I wanted him to use the windows-like KPP instead. So I click on KPP and I get a prompt for the root password.

KPP can only be run by root for some reason... Confused

What do I do to let it be run by a regular user? Add the user to a group that can run KPP? HELP!

Have you CHMOD'd it?

If not, you should CHMOD it to 777.

EDIT: I just realized KPP is NOT Kazaa lite K++... What do you mean by KPP?

could it be user permissions in accessing the modem

should be /dev/modem if it created a symlink.
also check the permissions of the program.
dont see why kpp would be root only.
