Become superuser on the dial-in server or assume an equivalent role.
Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services. To configure a role with the Primary Administrator profile, see Chapter 2, Working With the Solaris Management Console (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
Create the /etc/ppp/options file with the following entry.
nodefaultroute |
nodefaultroute indicates that no pppd session on the local system can establish a default route without root privileges.
If the dial-in server does not have an /etc/ppp/options file, only the superuser can run the pppd command. However, the /etc/ppp/options file can be empty.
Create the file /etc/options.ttyname to define how calls that are received over serial port ttyname should be handled.
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 |
