The tasks in this section are for configuring the dial-in server. The dial-in server is a peer machine that receives the call over the PPP link from the dial-out machine. The tasks show how to configure the dial-in server myserver that was introduced in Figure 16-1.
Table 17-3 Task Map for Setting Up the Dial-in Server

The following procedure explains how to configure the modem and serial port on the dial-in server.
Before you do the next procedure, you must have completed the following activities on the peer dial-in server:
Installed the Solaris 9 release or Solaris 10 release
Determined the optimum modem speed
Decided which serial port to use
For other suggestions, refer to How to Configure the Modem and Serial Port (Dial-out Machine).
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
Use the Solaris Management Console to do the following:
The next procedure explains how to set the modem speed for a dial-in server. For suggestions about speeds to use with Sun Microsystems' computers, see Configuring Modem Speed for a Dial-up Link.
Instructions for using tip to set the modem speed are in the tip(1) man page.
The following list provides references to related information.
Part of the process of setting up a dial-in server involves configuring information about each known remote caller.
Before starting the procedures in this section, you must have done the following:
Obtained the UNIX user names for all users who are permitted to log in from remote dial-out machines.
Set up the modem and serial line, as described in How to Configure the Modem and Serial Port (Dial-in Server).
Dedicated an IP address to be assigned to incoming calls from remote users. Consider creating a dedicated incoming IP address if the number of potential callers exceeds the number of modems and serial ports on the dial-in server. For complete information about creating dedicated IP addresses, go to Creating an IP Addressing Scheme for Callers.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
You can use the Solaris Management Console to create a new user. The /usr/sadm/bin/smc command opens the Solaris Management Console. For instructions about creating a new user through Solaris Management Console, see Setting Up User Accounts (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
For example, the following table shows the parameters for an account that is called pppuser for user1 on the dial-out machine myhome.
|
For example, you might create the following .ppprc file for pppuser.
# cat /export/home/pppuser/.ppprc noccp
The following list provides references to related information.
The next task shows how to enable the dial-in server to open communications with any dial-out machine. The options that are defined in the following PPP configuration files determine how communications are established.
/etc/ppp/options
/etc/ppp/options.ttyname
For detailed information about these files, refer to Using PPP Options in Files and on the Command Line.
Before you proceed, you should have done the following:
Configured the serial port and modem on the dial-in server, as described in How to Configure the Modem and Serial Port (Dial-in Server).
Configured information about the prospective users of the dial-in server, as described in How to Configure Users of the Dial-in Server.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.
nodefaultroute
nodefaultroute indicates that no pppd session on the local system can establish a default route without root privileges.
The following /etc/options.ttya file defines how the dial-in server's serial port /dev/ttya should handle incoming calls.
:10.0.0.80 xonxoff
If you have followed all the procedures in this chapter, you have completed the configuration of the dial-up link. The following list provides references to related information.
To test modem connectivity by dialing out to another computer, see cu(1C) and tip(1) man pages. These utilities can help you test if your modem is properly configured. Also, use these utilities to test if you can establish a connection with another machine.
To configure more options for the dial-in server, see Configuring the Dial-in Server.
To configure more dial-out machines, see Configuring the Dial-out Machine.
To have the remote machine call the dial-in server, see Calling the Dial-in Server.
