This file describes the installation process for ppp-2.3 on systems
running Solaris 2.  The Solaris 2 and SVR4 ports share a lot of code
but are not identical.  The STREAMS kernel modules and driver for
Solaris 2 are in the svr4 directory (and use some code from the
modules directory).

Installation.
*************

1. Run the configure script and make the user-level programs and the
kernel modules.

	./configure
	make

2. Install the programs and kernel modules: as root, do

	make install

This installs pppd, chat and pppstats in /usr/local/bin and the kernel
modules in /kernel/drv and /kernel/strmod, and creates the /etc/ppp
directory and populates it with default configuration files.

If your system normally has only one network interface, the default
Solaris 2 system startup scripts will disable IP forwarding in the IP
kernel module.  This will prevent the remote machine from using the
local machine as a gateway to access other hosts.  The solution is to
create an /etc/ppp/ip-up script containing something like this:

	#!/bin/sh
	/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/ip ip_forwarding 2
