This file describes the installation process for ppp-2.2 on systems
running SunOS 4.x (or the equivalent).
The STREAMS modules in the sunos4 directory provide kernel support for
PPP on SunOS 4.x systems. They have been tested under SunOS 4.1.3 on
a SparcStation 1+. They should work under earlier SunOS 4.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
2. Install the pppd, pppstats 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.
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
