1 This file describes the installation process for ppp-2.2 on systems
2 running SunOS 4.x (or the equivalent).
4 The STREAMS modules in the sunos4 directory provide kernel support for
5 PPP on SunOS 4.x systems. They have been tested under SunOS 4.1.3 on
6 a SparcStation 1+. They should work under earlier SunOS 4.x systems,
7 but no guarantees are given.
9 These modules are designed to be loaded into the running kernel using
10 the `modload' command.
16 1. Run the configure script and make the user-level programs and the
22 2. Install the pppd, pppstats chat programs and the loadable module
23 object files (you need to be root to do this):
27 By default, the programs and the loadable module object files go into
28 /usr/local/etc. Doing `make install' also copies a script called
29 ppp.INSTALL into /dev, and makes ppp.LOAD, ppp.UNLOAD, ppp.MKDEV and
30 ppp.RMDEV links to it.
32 3. Load the ppp modules (you need to be root for this too):
36 You will want to do this in your /etc/rc.local file once you have
37 everything installed. I suggest you put something like the following
38 in /etc/rc.local (or /etc/loadable, if you have one):
40 if [ -f /dev/ppp.AUTOLOAD ]; then
44 and then create a /dev/ppp.AUTOLOAD file with the command
46 touch /dev/ppp.AUTOLOAD
