hi,

i have added an new user "anna" on my system. if i would dial-up to the internet with "pptp adsl", then i get the following error:

anon warn[pptp_gre_bind:pptp_gre.c:82]: socket: Operation not permitted
anon fatal[main:pptp.c:245]: Cannot bind GRE socket, aborting.

the new user "anna" is member of the group root:

id anna
uid=1003(anna) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)


i do not understand, why i havn't enough permission for this operation. Can anybody help me?

Have you compiled and modprobed the kernel GRE tunnel module?
