The System V Release 4 (svr4) port of this software has been developed
under Solaris 2, which has some extensions which are not available on
all SVR4 systems, particularly in the area of multi-thread (MT)
support in the kernel. Although the code supplied here may work under
other SVR4 systems, these instructions are specifically for Solaris 2.
Installation.
*************
1. Run the configure script and make the user-level programs and the
kernel modules.
./configure
make
2. Install the programs and kernel modules: as root, do
make install
This installs pppd, chat and pppstats in /usr/local/bin and the kernel
modules in /kernel/drv and /kernel/strmod, and creates the /etc/ppp
directory and populates it with default configuration files.
If your system normally has only one network interface, the default
Solaris 2 system startup scripts will disable IP forwarding in the IP
kernel module. This will prevent the remote machine from using the
local machine as a gateway to access other hosts. The solution is to
create an /etc/ppp/ip-up script containing something like this:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/ip ip_forwarding 2
