Managing Serial Networks Using UUCP and PPP in Oracle^® Solaris 11.4

How to Configure Users of the Dial-In Server

1. Become an administrator on the dial-in server.

   For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.4.

2. Create a new account on the dial-in server for each remote PPP user.

   For instructions about creating a new user, see Setting Up and Managing User Accounts (Task Map) in Managing User Accounts and User Environments in Oracle Solaris 11.4.

3. Create for each caller a $HOME/.ppprc file that contains various options that are specific to the user's PPP session.

   For example, you might create the following .ppprc file for pppuser.

   # cat /export/home/pppuser/.ppprc
   noccp

   noccp turns off compression control on the link.
