I run PPP between crappie.morningstar.com (137.175.6.3, my home
|
|
machine) and remora.morningstar.com (137.175.2.7, my workstation at
|
|
the office). This document describes how I use it. The installation
|
|
of PPP itself is covered in the PPP distribution.
|
|
|
|
I put a line like this in remora's /etc/passwd:
|
|
|
|
Pkarl:2y4613BDaQD3x:51:10:Karl's PPP login:/tmp:/usr/local/etc/pppstart
|
|
|
|
I created a login shell script on remora called
|
|
/usr/local/etc/pppstart:
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
/usr/bin/mesg n
|
|
stty -tostop
|
|
exec /usr/local/etc/ppp 137.175.2.7:
|
|
|
|
I use the ppp-on command to bring up a connection, and ppp-off to shut
|
|
it down. These shell scripts, plus the unlock and fix-cua scripts and
|
|
the source to the chat program are included. You will need to heavily
|
|
modify these to suit your own situation, including Internet addresses,
|
|
machine names, telephone numbers, modem dialing commands, baud rates,
|
|
login names and passwords. Make the "ppp..." command in the ppp-on
|
|
script look something like this:
|
|
|
|
ppp 137.175.6.3: /dev/cua &
|
|
|
|
The "137.175.6.3:" is of the format "local-addr:remote-addr" with the
|
|
remote address null (it will be negotiated by PPP). Look at the login
|
|
shell script above; it can be common to all dial-in PPP users on your
|
|
machine because it only specifies the address of the remora
|
|
(receiving) end of the link.
|
|
|
|
If you use the enclosed chat and unlock programs, be sure they are
|
|
suid uucp, and fix-cua should be suid root. The ppp-on script should
|
|
be chmod 700, owner yourself, to keep the password (semi-) secure.
|
|
|
|
I use the following eeprom settings and /dev and /etc/ttytab entries
|
|
in order to support dial-in and dial-out on a single phone line:
|
|
|
|
crappie 12% eeprom | grep ttya
|
|
ttya-mode=19200,8,1,n,h
|
|
ttya-rts-dtr-off=false
|
|
ttya-ignore-cd=false
|
|
crappie 13% ls -lg /dev/cua /dev/ttya
|
|
crw-rw-rw- 1 root staff 12, 128 Nov 20 09:14 /dev/cua
|
|
crw--w--w- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Nov 20 08:25 /dev/ttya
|
|
crappie 14% grep ttya /etc/ttytab
|
|
ttya "/usr/etc/getty std.19200" unknown on
|
|
crappie 15%
|
|
|
|
On SunOS 4.1 and later, make sure that the /etc/ttytab line for ttya
|
|
doesn't say "local":
|
|
|
|
ttya "/usr/etc/getty std.38400" unknown on
|
|
|
|
Make sure your modem passes data transparently; watch out especially
|
|
for ^S, ^Q, ^P (UUCP spoofing) and parity problems. I have a Telebit
|
|
Trailblazer+ attached to /dev/ttya with the following register
|
|
settings:
|
|
|
|

|
|

And, the following entry is in /etc/gettytab:
|
|
|
|
#
|
|
# 19200/2400 dialin for Telebit Trailblazer+ modem
|
|

|
|
T2400|dial-2400:\
|
|
:nx=T19200:sp#2400:
|
|
|
|
My chat script dialing command looks like "ATs50=255s111=0DT4515678"
|
|
instead of just "ATDT4515678" in order to force a PEP mode connection
|
|
and to disable the UUCP spoofing (otherwise, the modem swallows or
|
|
delays ^P characters).
|
|
|
|
I run /usr/etc/in.routed on crappie (the calling end) and have this in
|
|
my /etc/gateways file:
|
|
|
|
net 0.0.0.0 gateway remora metric 1 passive
|
|
host crappie gateway crappie metric 0 passive
|
|
|
|
Routed is started in /etc/rc.local. This way, I don't have to
|
|
manually add or delete routes when links come up. I ifconfig the ppp0
|
|
interface on crappie at boot time like this (in /etc/rc.local with the
|
|
other ifconfig's):
|
|
|
|
ifconfig ppp0 crappie remora netmask 0xffffff00 down
|
|
|
|
I put "init ppp_attach" in my /sys/sun4c/conf/CRAPPIE file so that the
|
|
above ifconfig down will work:
|
|
|
|
pseudo-device ppp1 init ppp_attach # Point-to-Point Protocol, 1 line
|
|
|
|
Routed now keeps my routes sane at the crappie.MorningStar.Com end.
|
|
|
|
My ethernet (le0) and PPP (ppp0) interfaces are configured with the
|
|
same address and netmask. IP is smart enough to figure out (via the
|
|
routes in /etc/gateways) that everything useful needs to go out ppp0.
|
|
Also, the remora end of my PPP link is configured the same way -- the
|
|
ppp0 interface there is configured with the same address and netmask
|
|
as remora's le0 ethernet. This means that separate interface names
|
|
like "remora-ppp" are not needed; point-to-point links (whether PPP,
|
|
Xerox Synchronous Point-to-Point Protocol, SLIP, IGP or whatever) have
|
|
(apparently) been used this (seemingly bizarre) way for some time.
|
|
This works because when IP looks at a POINTOPOINT link it ignores the
|
|
local address (unlike an ethernet interface) and only looks at the
|
|
remote address.
|
|
|
|
Here's what netstat shows for me:

The default route to remora is a result of the first line in the
|
|
/etc/gateways file ("default" can't be used there; you have to say
|
|
"0.0.0.0").
|
|
|
|
On the network at work, I add a static route in our gateway machine's
|
|
/etc/rc.local file:
|
|
|
|
/usr/etc/route add net 137.175.6 remora 1
|
|
|
|
All the other machines in the office have default routes pointing at
|
|
the gateway machine, and all PPP-connected external machines are on the
|
|
137.175.6 subnet.

|
Send me mail or post to the newsgroup comp.protocols.ppp if you have
|
|
any questions.
