Issue

UserNet, PPP and Netscape work fine when root but when I created 
a personal account so that I don't have to login as root, UserNet 
returns a unsuppoted device message. The printer is not supported 
also. What permissions do I need and how do I do it? 

Response

In order for usernet to allow other users you must edit (in root) 
it's configuration script: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 
change the last item in the file USERCTL=no to USERCTL=yes this 
will allow usernet to function in your personal group.
