[plug] Re: Debate, Distractions, planned time wasting, ppp-on script

[Tamara Thompson]

hahahahaha!  I've been quiet on this nonsense, because I've seen that time wasting tactic before---get people arguing and they can't get any real work done.  It's a typical psychological warfare tool.  

Don't fall for it.  Ignore it.  And I'll uh, review my childhood stories for the perfect end to Billy Goat Gruff.  ROFL.!  

But I have more serious issues at hand, like configuring my netscape and ppp to allow user tamara to use the ppp script to login.  Currently I (gasp!) use my root login to get on the net.  

I'm getting a $ENV error when trying as tamara to invoke the ppp-on script.  I copied a script from a howto to do the ppp-on.  The script is executable.  

When I type usernet from an xterm under WindowMaker, I only see one button "eth0", when I was expecting a 'ppp0' button.  (RH 5.2)
