This file describes the installation process for ppp-2.2 on systems running Solaris 2. The Solaris 2 and SVR4 ports share a lot of code but are not identical. The STREAMS kernel modules and driver for Solaris 2 are in the svr4 directory (and use some code from the modules directory). Installation. ************* 1. Run the configure script and make the user-level programs and the kernel modules. ./configure make 2. Install the programs and kernel modules: as root, do make install This installs pppd, chat and pppstats in /usr/local/bin and the kernel modules in /kernel/drv and /kernel/strmod, and creates the /etc/ppp directory and populates it with default configuration files. If your system normally has only one network interface, the default Solaris 2 system startup scripts will disable IP forwarding in the IP kernel module. This will prevent the remote machine from using the local machine as a gateway to access other hosts. The solution is to create an /etc/ppp/ip-up script containing something like this: #!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/ip ip_forwarding 2
