This file describes the installation process for ppp-2.3 on systems
|
|
|
|
|
running SunOS 4.1.x (or the equivalent).

The STREAMS modules in the sunos4 directory provide kernel support for
|
1996-07-01 13:28:43 +08:00
|
|
|
PPP on SunOS 4.1.x systems. 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):
|
1995-12-19 07:58:43 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
1998-02-04 09:33:12 +08:00
|
|
|
ppp.RMDEV links to it. You can change the installation directories by
|
|
|
|
|
editing sunos4/Makedefs.
|
1995-12-19 07:58:43 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
