Weird. I have RH8.0 connected to ADSL (Bell Sympatico). I can run my
connection as a normal user. What I can think of is: just verify you
have correct permission for the necessary files. Perhaps some file is
root rwx only, and after your initial startup, its permissions are being
set for normals user as well, i.e. after the ppp script adjusts the
relevant permissions after you first start it up as root.
I know this is not a complete or direct answer, but see if this hint
helps. I will let you know if I can think of something else.
BTW, while creating my home network, I used the RH network GUI to set up
my nics. That GUI changed some of the files', those related to
networking, permissions by itself. Wonder if something strange like this
has happened with you too.
