Sonicwall NetExtender and Snow Leopard
Seems like pppd is no longer setuid anymore. To correct this, fire up terminal and enter the following:
1 | sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd |
This will enable NetExtender to once again work its magic.

That worked! Thanks!
I don’t understand your instructions. But, I need help too. I have been using net extender for a year without any problems. I installed Snow Leopard two days ago and haven’t been able to get it to work since.
Wood, I recently upgraded the software running on our SSL-VPN and that pushed version 3.5.636 of NetExtender. Make sure you are running that version. I am not having any issues with this version.
I entered:
sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd
the message below came up…
is it wise to proceed??

Yup, it is fine to proceed. BTW, this bug is still not fixed in Mac OSX 10.6.2. This problems relates to how different applications perform DNS lookups.
