The System V Release 4 (svr4) port of this software has been developed under Solaris 2, which has some extensions which are not available on all SVR4 systems, particularly in the area of multi-thread (MT) support in the kernel. Although the code supplied here may work under other SVR4 systems, these instructions are specifically for Solaris 2. 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
