- Configuring a PPP link.
-
-After you have compiled and installed this package, there are some
-configuration files which will generally need to be set up. 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`
