It is assumed that you have already successfully installed pppd.
|
|
For more info see the PPP-HOWTO.
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
Now check the kppp/config.h file ( Linux users should be fine )
|
|
then:
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
o If you run "make install" as root the kppp binary will be installed
|
|
setuid root. Otherwise you can do this on your own:
|
|
cd $(TDEDIR)/bin ; chown root kppp; chmod +s kppp. This might not
|
|
be absolutely necessary ( depending on the permissions
|
|
set on the modem device, /etc/resolv.conf etc. but if you can
|
|
afford to, this will make your life much easier.
|
|
|
|
o if you can't give kppp setuid permission, here is the deal:
|
|
In order for kppp to be able to update /etc/resolv.conf,
|
|
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets, respectively,
|
|
the users of kppp must have write permissions to these files
|
|
and of course the modem device. It's up to you to figure
|
|
the right permissions. ;-)
|
|
|
|
o make sure that the pppd's option file which usually resides
|
|
in /etc/ppp/ exists, but is empty. pppd wants it to exist,
|
|
but we don't want pppd to take any options from it. kppp
|
|
will hand pppd the necessary options.
|
|
|
|
o when you run kppp for the first time you need to create and
|
|
configure kppp for you ISP account. I hope kppp was written
|
|
so that you will have no difficutlies understanding the many
|
|
options offered. Please make use of the html help documentation
|
|
if you have questions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
that's it,
|
|
happy dialing!
