How to Update the Dial-In Server

You do not have to add any PPP-specific address to the hosts database for the dial-in server. The dynamically allocated link must use the server's primary network interface. Therefore, when configuring the hosts database for the dial-in server, do the following:

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Add entries to the server's /etc/inet/hosts files for each remote host served.

  3. Add to the /etc/inet/hosts files of every machine on the physical network the entries for any remote hosts they are permitted to communicate with.
