Re: PPP and DNS Problem in OpenBSD 2.7 beta

["Jeffrey Flowers" <sikak43@gateway.net>]

This has got to be a permission issue of some kind. When I start PPP as  
root, it connects fine. If I try to start PPP as a regular user, I get 
a 
memory fault. 

As root, I can successfully ping all day long and lynx works fine, 
bringing up the OpenBSD site as soon as it starts. If I switch to 
another 
console and try as a regular user, I can't get any domain resolution 
but 
I can ping known IP  addresses and when I issue the 

"nslookup www.OpenBSD.org 207.69.188.185" 

command, I do get a  response.
