Sandbox APP can't use pppd

Legato Application Framework

We encountered a project that needed to use the following code for PPPD dialing。

code:
system(“/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyHS0 19200 192.168.244.4:192.168.244.3 noauth local noipdefault”);

But it doesn’t seem to work properly in a sandbox.

Here is the error log：

Apr 28 08:46:16 | mqtt_v21_converter[9066]/MQTT_V21_ConverterComponent T=3 | VM_PPP.c VM_PPP_Task() 119 | read port buff:CLIENTSERVER

It seems that PPPD dialing requires ROOT privileges. How can I use PPPD to dial in the APP configured as sandboxed: true?

Besides, will sandbox affect other modules ?
For example socket or http etc.

The simplest approach is change your application to “unsandboxed”, otherwise you need create a new unsandboxed app and put pppd into that app.
