Well, there was thread on this last week, and it may also be useful to others, so I'm posting it.

To let all users use wvdial without giving them root password or making wvdial setuid root, do this (tested on RH6.0)

1. put your wvdial binary in /usr/sbin or /usr/local/sbin (your pref) make sure permissions are no more than 755 (-rwxr-xr-x) 2. create /etc/pam.d/wvdial with the following: #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rootok.so auth required /lib/security/pam_console.so #auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so account required /lib/security/pam_permit.so

The line with pam_pwdb is commented out. If you want wvdial to prompt for user's password (not root password), then uncomment that line.

3. create /etc/security/console.apps/wvdial with the following: PROGRAM=/usr/sbin/wvdial (or /usr/local/sbin/wvdial depending...)

4. create a symlink from /usr/bin/consolehelper to /usr/bin/wvdial (or /usr/local/bin/wvdial)

5. run wvdial as a normal user.
