An odd thing occurred last week and it seems to persist. In system preferences my "network" settings have been modified by an application. Which one it does not say. A pulldown notice informs me of this but does not let me make changes in network? When I go to keychain in utilities there is something called "pppd" in password but I can't get my keychain password to delete it? I think this is the problem but don't know which program it's associated with? Any ideas on the problem.

    If you're on 10.4.11 then it's a known issue.



    There's two solutions I'm aware of - one is to click on the lock icon to prevent any changes for the preferences. The other solution is to delete the internet preferences .plist files and reboot.



    Edit: have a look at the following thread - http://www.applelinks.com/index.php/...iewthread/166/
