Adding Hosts for Solstice PPP

Before running pppinit, edit the file /etc/hosts to enter the source and destination addresses used for synchronous PPP links.

For example:

127.0.0.1       localhost
129.xxx.xxx.32  epic loghost
129.xxx.xxx.117 epic-ppp
129.xxx.xxx.119 odyssey-ppp
129.xxx.xxx.01  olympus-ppp

This step is necessary because Solstice PPP is started before the naming service (NIS/NIS+) when the machine is rebooted, so it reads the host information from the local files.

If you configure your machine to accept incoming asynchronous connections, you also need to create user accounts for each remote host. See "Adding User Accounts for Incoming Connections" for detailed instructions.
