You have completed the preinstallation activities noted in Chapter 22, Planning for PPP. Now you can begin PPP configuration.
PPP requires that you:
Install the PPP software, if it isn't already installed.
Edit the /etc/inet/hosts files on all machines involved.
Edit the UUCP database files for all dial-out machines.
Edit the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files for the dial-in machine.
Edit the /etc/asppp.cf file on each machine on the link.
Start the link manager aspppd on each machine on a link.
Verify that PPP is running successfully.
Although you don't have to perform Tasks 1-4 in order, you must complete them before you can edit the PPP-configuration file.
The sections in this chapter explain the procedures for configuring PPP.
