I've got NetBSD 1.4.2 running on a Q700 and have run across a a quirk 
that probably indicates that I don't have something configured 
properly.

I can access the Internet via the built-in Ethernet and DSL without 
any problem, and if necessary I can also use PPP over a modem.  Works 
fine, the connections are good and solid it seems.

Well, it works fine *as root* but not as user.  As root, I can use 
lynx, it goes out and connects to the 'net just hunky-dory.  When I 
launch lynx as user, it appears to start and then complains that it 
can't access www.lynx.org or whatever the URL is.  And then it 
self-terminates.  Same deal with ftp; I can use ftp as root but not 
as user.  Or trn, for that matter.  (BTW, running tin causes a core 
dump every time.)

Is there something I have neglected to do with permissions or 
something?  Every one of the programs seems to launch and then fails 
because it can't connect to something on the other end of the 
Internet.  I can use them as root, but I don't want to be logged in 
as root all the time to reduce the risk of wreaking newbie havoc all 
over my filesystem.
