[LI] ppp coonection

["L.V.Gandhi" <lvgandhi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am running RH6.0 from chip. I connected using kppp to internet.
During ppp connection I have observer following errors.
/etc/ppp/ip-up: /var/run/ppp-.dev: Permission denied
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local: /var/log/ppplog: Permission denied
WWWOFFLE Already Online
WWWOFFLE Now Fetching.
WWWOFFLE No more to fetch.

directory

----
1)I have following permissions for the dirs
drwxr-xr-x  20 root     root         1024 Oct  4 01:24 var/
drwxr-xr-x   7 root     root         1024 Oct  5 05:53 log/
-------------------------------------------------
2)my ip-up file is as follows.
#!/bin/bash

# This file should not be modified -- make local changes to
# /etc/ppp/ip-up.local instead

LOGDEVICE=$6
REALDEVICE=$1

export PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin

echo "$REALDEVICE" > /var/run/ppp-$LOGDEVICE.dev
[ -x /etc/ppp/ip-up.local ] && /etc/ppp/ip-up.local $*

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post ifcfg-${LOGDEVICE}

exit 0
----------------------------------------
3) my ip-up.local file is as follows.
#!/bin/bash
echo `date` CONNECT $4 >> /var/log/ppplog
/usr/local/bin/wwwoffle -online
/usr/local/bin/wwwoffle -fetch

Still ppplog was found to be written by ip-up.local. Further I would
like to know the significance of various error msgs given above. 
Sorry for such a long mail.
