[Sheflug] WVdial permissions again

[Keith <nospam [at] g4jvx.screaming.net>]

Hello Stephen and Paul.

Thank you both for your advice on how to sort my "permissions" problem.

Stephen, I have followed exactly what you said, but when logged in as myself, I
still get the message that I can't modify the pap and chap-secrets files as I
don't have permission. So it seems to me that the problem is caused by
something else - perhaps some setting which I have got incorrect.  I will keep
on looking to see if I can find what's causing it.

Paul, I used CTL-x o in Midnight Commander and came to a halt. I couldn't
fathom out how to actually look at the files and change their group. So that's
something else to add to my very long list of things to find out about!

I won't take up any more of the group's time, as I can connect using wVDial
both when as root and when as myself.

Thank you both again, and I will let you know if/when I sort the problem.

Very best wishes

Keith
