Some linux tips

Below there are some tips that made my life easy. They have been tested on SuSE 9.0, but they surely work on other distributions as well.

Enable pppd for all users

Execute

# chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd

Enable correct kinternet

• Edit /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-pppX (where X your interface)
• Copy all the needed values from a workingwvdial.conf

ACM USB support

Edit /etc/sysconfig/kernel

...
...
INITRD_MODULES="<other modules here> acm"
...
...

Execute

# mk_initrd

CD-reader/writer scsi support

Edit /etc/sysconfig/kernel

MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT=" <other modules here> ide-cd ide-scsi <other modules here>"

All of the above have been found in the Internet (if someone thinks I copied from him, just tell me so to refer to him). I' ve tested them in SuSE 9.0 and worked.
