Thanks for all your help with this issue. It has been working fine until today, when I received the following error:
09/15/2018 11:35:26.915 [general fatal 2588] FATAL: You don't have permission to read/execute '/etc/ppp/peers'
09/15/2018 11:35:26.915 [general error 2588] pppd permissions are invalid
permissions for /etc/ppp/peers:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root dialout 4096 Jul 7 01:35 peers
and all files within that directory:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 195 Feb 19 2018 ppp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 206 Feb 19 2018 pppoatm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 382 Feb 19 2018 pppoe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 371 Feb 19 2018 pppoe-rp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 272 Feb 19 2018 pptp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 226 Apr 27 2017 sslvpn
and /usr/sbin/pppd:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root dialout 366984 Feb 19 2018 pppd
My user is a member of the dialout group so as far as I can tell, the permissions are fine…
Any ideas what might be causing this permissions error? I haven’t changed anything with this configuration.
