They have been tested under SunOS 4.1.3 +on a SparcStation 1+. They should work under earlier SunOS 4.1.x +systems, but no guarantees are given. + +These modules are designed to be loaded into the running kernel using +the `modload' command. + + +Installation. +************* + +1. Run the configure script and make the user-level programs and the +kernel modules. + + ./configure + make + +If you wish to compile using gcc instead of cc, edit the +sunos4/Makedefs file and uncomment the line saying "CC = gcc". You +can also change the C compiler options by editing the COPTS +definition. + +2. Install the pppd, pppstats and chat programs and the loadable +module object files (you need to be root to do this): + + make install + +By default, the programs and the loadable module object files go into +/usr/local/etc. Doing `make install' also copies a script called +ppp.INSTALL into /dev, and makes ppp.LOAD, ppp.UNLOAD, ppp.MKDEV and +ppp.RMDEV links to it. You can change the installation directories by +editing sunos4/Makedefs. + +3. Load the ppp modules (you need to be root for this too): + + /dev/ppp.LOAD + +You will want to do this in your /etc/rc.local file once you have +everything installed. I suggest you put something like the following +in /etc/rc.local (or /etc/loadable, if you have one): + + if [ -f /dev/ppp.AUTOLOAD ]; then + /dev/ppp.LOAD + fi + +and then create a /dev/ppp.AUTOLOAD file with the command + + touch /dev/ppp.AUTOLOAD + +It is not advisable to unload the "if_ppp" module, because it creates +network interface units, and SunOS does not provide any way to destroy +network interfaces once created. If you do unload it, the system will +probably crash at some later stage. + +If you have previously had ppp-2.2 installed, you may have statements +in your /etc/rc.local to load the ppp module. You will need to remove +those. Having done this, you will need to reboot to remove the old +ppp module and load the new modules. -- cgit v1.2.1
