This section describes all files which must be created or modified to configure PPP on a Solaris host.
Make sure /etc/hosts or the NIS configuration files include PPP addresses for both the host and target systems:
# If you are using /etc/hosts, then include the following lines. # Host PPP address Host PPP hostname host_PPP host_name # Target PPP address Target PPP hostname target_PPP target_name
Add the system name to /etc/uucp/Systems:
# Name Connect Hour Device to Use Connection speed target Any Direct 9600
Add the device to /etc/uucp/Devices:
# Name Physical device Unused Connection speed Direct Dialer # (no modem) Direct cua/a - 9600 direct
Make sure that the dialer called direct exists in /etc/uucp/Dialers:
host% grep direct /etc/uucp/Dialers direct |
Update the PPP configuration file /etc/asppp.cf:
