The -pppd(8) man page is the best reference for the full details; this file -outlines the configuration process for the most common case, where -this package is being used to enable a machine to dial an ISP and -connect to the internet. The FAQ and README.linux files also provide -useful information about setting up PPP. - -Dialling an ISP. -**************** - -Usually, an ISP will assign an IP address to your machine, and will -refuse to authenticate itself to you. Some ISPs require a username -and password to be entered before PPP service commences, while others -use PPP authentication (using either the PAP or CHAP protocols). - -The recommended way to set up to dial an ISP is for the system -administrator to create a file under /etc/ppp/peers, named for the ISP -that you will be dialling. For example, suppose the file is called -/etc/ppp/peers/isp. This file would contain something like this: - -cua0 # modem is connected to /dev/cua0 -38400 # run the serial port at 38400 baud -crtscts # use hardware flow control -noauth # don't require the ISP to authenticate itself -defaultroute # use the ISP as our default route -connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat-isp' - -If there are any other pppd options that should apply when calling -this ISP, they can also be placed in this file. - -The /etc/ppp/chat-isp file named in the last line contains the script -for chat(8) to use to dial the ISP and go through any username/ -password authentication required before PPP service starts. Here is -an example (for dialling an Annex terminal server): - -ABORT "NO CARRIER" -ABORT "NO DIALTONE" -ABORT "ERROR" -ABORT "NO ANSWER" -ABORT "BUSY" -ABORT "Username/Password Incorrect" -"" "at" -OK "at&d2&c1" -OK "atdt2479381" -"name:" "^Uusername" -"word:" "\qpassword" -"annex" "ppp" -"Switching to PPP-ppp-Switching to PPP" - -See the chat(8) man page for details of the script. If you are not -sure how the initial dialog with your ISP will go, you could use -a terminal emulator such as kermit or minicom to go through the -process manually. - -If your ISP requires PAP or CHAP authentication, you will have to -create a line in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets like -this: - -myhostname * "password" - -(Replace myhostname with the hostname of your machine.) - -At this point, you can initiate the link with the command: - -/usr/sbin/pppd call isp - -(N.B.: pppd might be installed in a different directory on some -systems). - -This will return to the shell prompt immediately, as pppd will detach -itself from its controlling terminal. (If you don't want it to do -this, use the "nodetach" option.) - -Pppd will log messages describing the progress of the connection and -any errors using the syslog facility (see the syslogd(8) and -syslog.conf(5) man pages). Pppd issues messages using syslog facility -daemon (or local2 if it has been compiled with debugging enabled); -chat uses facility local2. It is often useful to see messages of -priority notice or higher on the console. To see these, find the line -in /etc/syslog.conf which has /dev/console on the right-hand side, and -add `daemon.notice' on the left. This line should end up something -like this: - -*.err;kern.debug;daemon,local2,auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console - -If you want to see more messages from pppd, request messages of -priority info or higher for facility daemon, like this: - -*.err;kern.debug;daemon.info;local2,auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console - -It is also useful to add a line like this: - -daemon,local2.debug /etc/ppp/ppp-log - -If you do this, you will need to create an empty /etc/ppp/ppp-log -file. - -After modifying syslog.conf, you will then need to send a HUP signal -to syslogd (or reboot). - -When you wish terminate the PPP link, you should send a TERM or INTR -signal to pppd. Pppd writes its process ID to a file called -ppp<n>.pid in /var/run (or /etc/ppp on older systems such as SunOS or -Ultrix). Here <n> is the PPP interface unit number, which will be 0 -unless you have more than one PPP link running simultaneously. Thus -you can terminate the link with a command like - - kill `cat /var/run/ppp0.pid` |
