Good points. I remember running into this and I'm pretty sure I had to |
| 41 |
add myself to the uucp group. That was only after I beat my head |
| 42 |
against the wall for a few hours with the other groups tho. Remembering |
| 43 |
to logout and back in is what really drove me nuts. I didn't know that |
| 44 |
at first. |

I would suggest using Kppp if you can, at least until you get it |
| 47 |
working. There is a way to turn on logging in there that can help give |
| 48 |
hints. |
