This program was originally written by Toshiharu OHNO <tony-o@iij.ad.jp>,
|
|
|
|
|
and was submitted to FreeBSD-2.0.5 by Atsushi Murai <amurai@spec.co.jp>.
|
|
|
|
|
The original version was usually referred to as iij-ppp.

Ppp is currently maintained under FreeBSD and OpenBSD by Brian Somers
|
|
|
|
|
<brian@Awfulhak.org>. The sources for both operating systems are the
|

|
|
|
same except that OpenBSD is missing some files (the OpenBSD project
|
|
|
|
|
does not want libalias - not as a library anyway) and the Makefiles vary
|
|
|
|
|
due to the nature of each system. If and when it's ported to another OS,
|
|
|
|
|
things will probably be shuffled around so that there are several Makefiles,
|
|
|
|
|
one per architecture.

The latest sources are available in FreeBSD-current and OpenBSD-current.

An archive hacked so that it will build on just about any version of
|
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD is frequently generated and made available on
|
1998-05-29 18:32:41 +00:00
|
|
|
http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian. An up-to-date OpenBSD archive will also be
|
|
|
|
|
made available soon.

A FAQ is available at http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html. It applies
|
|
|
|
|
equally to OpenBSD as it does to FreeBSD. The man page is quite extensive,
|
|
|
|
|
and there are lots of examples in /etc/ppp/ppp.*.sample. These examples
|
1998-05-29 18:32:41 +00:00
|
|
|
come with the hacked archive above but must be installed manually with
|
|
|
|
|
``make etc-install''.

Ppp is still under development. There is no official TODO list.
