o Add "allow" command:
"allow users a b c" gives access to users a, b and c.
"allow modes auto" gives those users access to auto mode only.
"allow users *" and "allow modes *" are accepted.
No users and all modes are allowed by default.
UID 0 can do anything.
o Set the current label with the "load" and "dial" commands
so that the call to ppp.linkdown makes sense.
o Up the verison number.
o Don't OR MODE_AUTO for -background and -ddial.
o Don't OR MODE_INTER when we get a diagnostic connection.
o Allow up to 40 args per line (was 20).
o "set ifaddr" only changes the interface in AUTO mode (with other
modes, it happens after IPCP negotiation).
o Sort command descriptions in the man page.
o Support -dedicated mode where we just talk ppp forever (no login etc).

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This is a user process
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
software package. Normally,
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
is implemented as a part of the kernel (e.g. as managed by
|
|
.Xr pppd 8 )
|
|
and it's thus somewhat hard to debug and/or modify its behaviour.
|
|
However, in this implementation
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
is done as a user process with the help of the
|
|
tunnel device driver (tun).
|
|
|
|
.Sh Major Features
|
|
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It Provides interactive user interface.
|
|
Using its command mode, the user can
|
|
easily enter commands to establish the connection with the remote end, check
|
|
the status of connection and close the connection. All functions can
|
|
also be optionally password protected for security.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports both manual and automatic dialing.
|
|
Interactive mode has a
|
|
.Dq term
|
|
command which enables you to talk to your modem directly. When your
|
|
modem is connected to the remote peer and it starts to talk
|
|
.Em PPP ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
detects it and switches to packet mode automatically. Once you have
|
|
determined the proper sequence for connecting with the remote host, you
|
|
can write a chat script to define the necessary dialing and login
|
|
procedure for later convenience.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports on-demand dialup capability.
|
|
By using
|
|
.Fl auto
|
|
mode,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will act as a daemon and wait for a packet to be sent over the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
link. When this happens, the daemon automatically dials and establishes the
|
|
connection.
|
|
|
|
In almost the same manner
|
|
.Fl ddial
|
|
mode (direct-dial mode) also automatically dials and establishes the
|
|
connection. However, it differs in that it will dial the remote site
|
|
any time it detects the link is down, even if there are no packets to be
|
|
sent. This mode is useful for full-time connections where we worry less
|
|
about line charges and more about being connected full time.
|
|
|
|
A third
|
|
.Fl dedicated
|
|
mode is also available. This mode is targeted at a dedicated link
|
|
between two machines.
|
|
.Nm Ppp
|
|
will never voluntarily quit from dedicated mode - you must send it the
|
|
.Dq quit all
|
|
command via its diagnostic socket. A
|
|
.Dv SIGHUP
|
|
will force an LCP renegotiation, and a
|
|
.Dv SIGTERM
|
|
will force it to exit.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports packet aliasing.
|
|
Packet aliasing (a.k.a. IP masquerading) allows computers on a
|
|
private, unregistered network to access the Internet. The
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
host acts as a masquerading gateway. IP addresses as well as TCP and
|
|
UDP port numbers are aliased for outgoing packets and de-aliased for
|
|
returning packets.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports background PPP connections.
|
|
In background mode, if
|
|
.Nm
|
|
successfully establishes the connection, it will become a daemon.
|
|
Otherwise, it will exit with an error. This allows the setup of
|
|
scripts that wish to execute certain commands only if the connection
|
|
is successfully established.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports server-side PPP connections.
|
|
In direct mode,
|
|
.nm
|
|
acts as server which accepts incoming
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
connections on stdin/stdout.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports PAP and CHAP authentication.
|
|
With PAP or CHAP, it is possible to skip the Unix style
|
|
.Xr login 1
|
|
proceedure, and use the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
protocol for authentication instead.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports Proxy Arp.
|
|
When
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
is set up as server, you can also configure it to do proxy arp for your
|
|
connection.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports packet filtering.
|
|
User can define four kinds of filters:
|
|
.Em ifilter
|
|
for incoming packets,
|
|
.Em ofilter
|
|
for outgoing packets,
|
|
.Em dfilter
|
|
to define a dialing trigger packet and
|
|
.Em afilter
|
|
for keeping a connection alive with the trigger packet.
|
|
|
|
.It Tunnel driver supports bpf.
|
|
The user can use
|
|
.Xr tcpdump 1
|
|
to check the packet flow over the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
link.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports PPP over TCP capability.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.It Supports IETF draft Predictor-1 compression.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
supports not only VJ-compression but also Predictor-1 compression.
|
|
Normally, a modem has built-in compression (e.g. v42.bis) and the system
|
|
may receive higher data rates from it as a result of such compression.
|
|
While this is generally a good thing in most other situations, this
|
|
higher speed data imposes a penalty on the system by increasing the
|
|
number of serial interrupts the system has to process in talking to the
|
|
modem and also increases latency. Unlike VJ-compression, Predictor-1
|
|
compression pre-compresses
|
|
.Em all
|
|
data flowing through the link, thus reducing overhead to a minimum.
|
|
|
|
.It Supports Microsoft's IPCP extensions.
|
|
Name Server Addresses and NetBIOS Name Server Addresses can be negotiated
|
|
with clients using the Microsoft
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
stack (ie. Win95, WinNT)
|
|
|
|
.Sh PERMISSIONS
|
|
.Nm Ppp
|
|
is installed as user
|
|
.Dv root
|
|
and group
|
|
.Dv network ,
|
|
with permissions
|
|
.Dv 4550 .
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will not run if the invoking user id is not zero. This may be overridden
|
|
by using the
|
|
.Dq allow users
|
|
command in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .
|
|
When running as a normal user,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
switches to user id 0 in order to alter the system routing table, set up
|
|
system lock files and read the ppp configuration files. All
|
|
external commands (executed via the "shell" or "!bg" commands) are executed
|
|
as the user id that invoked
|
|
.Nm ppp .
|
|
Refer to the
|
|
.Sq ID0
|
|
logging facility if you're interested in what exactly is done as user id
|
|
zero.
|
|
|
|
.Sh GETTING STARTED
|
|
|
|
When you first run
|
|
.Nm
|
|
you may need to deal with some initial configuration details. First,
|
|
your kernel should include a tunnel device (the GENERIC kernel includes
|
|
one by default). If it doesn't, or if you require more than one tun
|
|
interface, you'll need to rebuild your kernel with the following line in
|
|
your kernel configuration file:
|
|
|
|
.Dl pseudo-device tun N
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
.Ar N
|
|
is the maximum number of
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
connections you wish to support.
|
|
|
|
Second, check your
|
|
.Pa /dev
|
|
directory for the tunnel device entries
|
|
.Pa /dev/tunN ,
|
|
where
|
|
.Sq N
|
|
represents the number of the tun device, starting at zero.
|
|
If they don't exist, you can create them by running "sh ./MAKEDEV tunN".
|
|
This will create tun devices 0 through
|
|
.Ar N .
|
|
|
|
Last of all, create a log file.
|
|
.Nm Ppp
|
|
uses
|
|
.Xr syslog 3
|
|
to log information. A common log file name is
|
|
.Pa /var/log/ppp.log .
|
|
To make output go to this file, put the following lines in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/syslog.conf
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
.Dl !ppp
|
|
.Dl *.*<TAB>/var/log/ppp.log
|
|
|
|
Make sure you use actual TABs here. If you use spaces, the line will be
|
|
silently ignored.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to have more than one
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
log file by creating a link to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
executable:
|
|
|
|
.Dl # cd /usr/sbin
|
|
.Dl # ln ppp ppp0
|
|
|
|
and using
|
|
|
|
.Dl !ppp0
|
|
.Dl *.* /var/log/ppp0.log
|
|
|
|
in
|
|
.Pa /etc/syslog.conf .
|
|
Don't forget to send a
|
|
.Dv HUP
|
|
signal to
|
|
.Xr syslogd 8
|
|
after altering
|
|
.Pa /etc/syslog.conf .
|
|
|
|
.Sh MANUAL DIALING
|
|
|
|
In the following examples, we assume that your machine name is
|
|
.Dv awfulhak .
|
|
|
|
If you set your host name and password in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret ,
|
|
you can't do anything except run the help, passwd and quit commands.
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp on "your host name"> help
|
|
help : Display this message
|
|
passwd : Password for security
|
|
quit : Quit the PPP program
|
|
ppp on awfulhak> pass <password>
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
The "on" part of your prompt will change to "ON" if you specify the
|
|
correct password.
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak>
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
You can now specify the device name, speed and parity for your modem,
|
|
and whether CTS/RTS signalling should be used (CTS/RTS is used by
|
|
default). If your hardware does not provide CTS/RTS lines (as
|
|
may happen when you are connected directly to certain PPP-capable
|
|
terminal servers),
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will never send any output through the port; it waits for a signal
|
|
which never comes. Thus, if you have a direct line and can't seem
|
|
to make a connection, try turning CTS/RTS off:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> set line /dev/cuaa0
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> set speed 38400
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> set parity even
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> set ctsrts on
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> show modem
|
|
|
|
* Modem related information is shown here *
|
|
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak>
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
The term command can now be used to talk directly with your modem:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> term
|
|
at
|
|
OK
|
|
atdt123456
|
|
CONNECT
|
|
login: ppp
|
|
Password:
|
|
Protocol: ppp
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
When the peer starts to talk in
|
|
.Em PPP ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
detects this automatically and returns to command mode.
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak>
|
|
PPP ON awfulhak>
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
You are now connected! Note that
|
|
.Sq PPP
|
|
in the prompt has changed to capital letters to indicate that you have
|
|
a peer connection. The show command can be used to see how things are
|
|
going:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
PPP ON awfulhak> show lcp
|
|
|
|
* LCP related information is shown here *
|
|
|
|
PPP ON awfulhak> show ipcp
|
|
|
|
* IPCP related information is shown here *
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
At this point, your machine has a host route to the peer. This means
|
|
that you can only make a connection with the host on the other side
|
|
of the link. If you want to add a default route entry (telling your
|
|
machine to send all packets without another routing entry to the other
|
|
side of the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
link), enter the following command:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
PPP ON awfulhak> add 0 0 HISADDR
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
The string
|
|
.Sq HISADDR
|
|
represents the IP address of the connected peer. This variable is only
|
|
available once a connection has been established. A common error
|
|
is to specify the above command in your
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
file. This won't work as the remote IP address hasn't been
|
|
established when this file is read.
|
|
|
|
You can now use your network applications (ping, telnet, ftp etc.)
|
|
in other windows on your machine.
|
|
|
|
Refer to the
|
|
.Em PPP COMMAND LIST
|
|
section for details on all available commands.
|
|
|
|
.Sh AUTOMATIC DIALING
|
|
|
|
To use automatic dialing, you must prepare some Dial and Login chat scripts.
|
|
See the example definitions in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample
|
|
(the format of
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
is pretty simple).
|
|
|
|
Each line contains one comment, inclusion, label or command:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
A line starting with a
|
|
.Pq Dq #
|
|
character is treated as a comment line.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
An inclusion is a line beginning with the word
|
|
.Sq !include .
|
|
It must have one argument - the file to include. You may wish to
|
|
.Dq !include ~/.ppp.conf
|
|
for compatibility with older versions of
|
|
.Nm ppp .
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
A label name starts in the first column and is followed by
|
|
a colon
|
|
.Pq Dq \&: .
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
A command line must contain a space or tab in the first column.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
file should consist of at least a
|
|
.Dq default
|
|
section. This section is always executed. It should also contain
|
|
one or more sections, named according to their purpose, for example,
|
|
.Dq MyISP
|
|
would represent your ISP, and
|
|
.Dq ppp-in
|
|
would represent an incoming
|
|
.Nm
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
You can now specify the destination label name when you invoke
|
|
.Nm ppp .
|
|
Commands associated with the
|
|
.Dq default
|
|
label are executed, followed by those associated with the destination
|
|
label provided. When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is started with no arguments, the
|
|
.Dq default
|
|
section is still executed. The load command can be used to manually
|
|
load a section from the
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
PPP ON awfulhak> load MyISP
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
Once the connection is made, the
|
|
.Sq ppp
|
|
portion of the prompt will change to
|
|
.Sq PPP :
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# ppp MyISP
|
|
...
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> dial
|
|
dial OK!
|
|
login OK!
|
|
PPP ON awfulhak>
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
If the
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
|
|
file is available, its contents are executed
|
|
when the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
connection is established. See the provided
|
|
.Dq pmdemand
|
|
example in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample
|
|
which adds a default route. The strings
|
|
.Dv HISADDR ,
|
|
.Dv MYADDR
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv INTERFACE
|
|
are available as the relevent IP addresses and interface name.
|
|
Similarly, when a connection is closed, the
|
|
contents of the
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown
|
|
file are executed.
|
|
|
|
Both of these files have the same format as
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .
|
|
|
|
.Sh BACKGROUND DIALING
|
|
|
|
If you want to establish a connection using
|
|
.Nm
|
|
non-interactively (such as from a
|
|
.Xr crontab 5
|
|
entry or an
|
|
.Xr at 1
|
|
job) you should use the
|
|
.Fl background
|
|
option. You must also specify the destination label in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
to use. This label must contain the
|
|
.Dq set ifaddr
|
|
command to define the remote peers IP address. (refer to
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample )
|
|
|
|
When
|
|
.Fl background
|
|
is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
attempts to establish the connection immediately. If multiple phone
|
|
numbers are specified, each phone number will be tried once. If the
|
|
attempt fails,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
exits immediately with a non-zero exit code.
|
|
|
|
If it succeeds, then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
becomes a daemon, and returns an exit status of zero to its caller.
|
|
The daemon exits automatically if the connection is dropped by the
|
|
remote system, or it receives a
|
|
.Dv TERM
|
|
signal.
|
|
|
|
.Sh DIAL ON DEMAND
|
|
|
|
Demand dialing is enabled with the
|
|
.Fl auto
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl ddial
|
|
options. You must also specify the destination label in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
to use. It must contain the
|
|
.Dq set ifaddr
|
|
command to define the remote peers IP address. (refer to
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample )
|

|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
When
|
|
.Fl auto
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl ddial
|
|
is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
runs as a daemon but you can still configure or examine its
|
|
configuration by using the diagnostic port as follows (this
|
|
can be done in
|
|
.Fl background
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl direct
|
|
mode too):
|
|
|

|
|
Currently,
|
|
.Xr telnet 1
|
|
may also be used to talk interactively.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In order to achieve this, you must use the
|
|
.Dq set server
|
|
command as described below. It is possible to retrospectively make a running
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program listen on a diagnostic port by configuring
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret ,
|
|
and sending it a
|
|
.Dv USR1
|
|
signal.
|
|
|
|
In
|
|
.Fl auto
|
|
mode, when an outgoing packet is detected,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will perform the dialing action (chat script) and try to connect
|
|
with the peer. In
|
|
.Fl ddial
|
|
mode, the dialing action is performed any time the line is found
|
|
to be down.
|
|
|
|
If the connect fails, the default behaviour is to wait 30 seconds
|
|
and then attempt to connect when another outgoing packet is detected.
|
|
This behaviour can be changed with
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set redial seconds|random[.nseconds|random] [dial_attempts]
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sq Seconds
|
|
is the number of seconds to wait before attempting
|
|
to connect again. If the argument is
|
|
.Sq random ,
|
|
the delay period is a random value between 0 and 30 seconds.
|
|
.Sq Nseconds
|
|
is the number of seconds to wait before attempting
|
|
to dial the next number in a list of numbers (see the
|
|
.Dq set phone
|
|
command). The default is 3 seconds. Again, if the argument is
|
|
.Sq random ,
|
|
the delay period is a random value between 0 and 30 seconds.
|
|
.Sq dial_attempts
|
|
is the number of times to try to connect for each outgoing packet
|
|
that is received. The previous value is unchanged if this parameter
|
|
is omitted. If a value of zero is specified for
|
|
.Sq dial_attempts ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will keep trying until a connection is made.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set redial 10.3 4
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will attempt to connect 4 times for each outgoing packet that is
|
|
detected with a 3 second delay between each number and a 10 second
|
|
delay after all numbers have been tried. If multiple phone numbers
|
|
are specified, the total number of attempts is still 4 (it does not
|
|
attempt each number 4 times).
|
|
|
|
Modifying the dial delay is very useful when running
|
|
.Nm
|
|
in demand
|
|
dial mode on both ends of the link. If each end has the same timeout,
|
|
both ends wind up calling each other at the same time if the link
|
|
drops and both ends have packets queued.
|
|
|
|
At some locations, the serial link may not be reliable, and carrier
|
|
may be lost at inappropriate times. It is possible to have
|
|
.Nm
|
|
redial should carrier be unexpectedly lost during a session.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set reconnect timeout ntries
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
This command tells
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to re-establish the connection
|
|
.Ar ntries
|
|
times on loss of carrier with a pause of
|
|
.Ar timeout
|
|
seconds before each try. For example,
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set reconnect 3 5
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
tells
|
|
.Nm
|
|
that on an unexpected loss of carrier, it should wait
|
|
.Ar 3
|
|
seconds before attempting to reconnect. This may happen up to
|
|
.Ar 5
|
|
times before
|
|
.Nm
|
|
gives up. The default value of ntries is zero (no reconnect). Care
|
|
should be taken with this option. If the local timeout is slightly
|
|
longer than the remote timeout, the reconnect feature will always be
|
|
triggered (up to the given number of times) after the remote side
|
|
times out and hangs up.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: In this context, losing too many LQRs constitutes a loss of
|
|
carrier and will trigger a reconnect.
|
|
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl background
|
|
flag is specified, all phone numbers are dialed at most once until
|
|
a connection is made. The next number redial period specified with
|
|
the
|
|
.Dq set redial
|
|
command is honoured, as is the reconnect tries value. If your redial
|
|
value is less than the number of phone numbers specified, not all
|
|
the specified numbers will be tried.
|
|
|
|
To terminate the program, type
|
|
|
|

|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> quit all
|
|
|

.Pp
|

.Sh RECEIVING INCOMING PPP CONNECTIONS (Method 2)
|
|
|
|
This method differs in that it recommends the use of
|
|
.Em mgetty+sendfax
|
|
to handle the modem connections. The latest versions (0.99 and higher)
|
|
can be compiled with the
|
|
.Dq AUTO_PPP

|
.Sh PPP OVER TCP (a.k.a Tunneling)
|
|
|
|
Instead of running
|
|
.Nm
|
|
over a serial link, it is possible to
|
|
use a TCP connection instead by specifying a host and port as the
|
|
device:
|
|
|
|
.Dl set device ui-gate:6669
|
|
|
|
Instead of opening a serial device,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will open a TCP connection to the given machine on the given
|
|
socket. It should be noted however that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
doesn't use the telnet protocol and will be unable to negotiate
|
|
with a telnet server. You should set up a port for receiving this
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
connection on the receiving machine (ui-gate). This is
|
|
done by first updating
|
|
.Pa /etc/services
|
|
to name the service:
|
|
|
|
.Dl ppp-in 6669/tcp # Incoming PPP connections over TCP
|
|
|
|
and updating
|
|
.Pa /etc/inetd.conf
|
|
to tell
|
|
.Xr inetd 8
|
|
how to deal with incoming connections on that port:
|
|
|
|
.Dl ppp-in stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/ppp ppp -direct ppp-in
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to send a
|
|
.Dv HUP
|
|
signal to
|
|
.Xr inetd 8
|
|
after you've updated
|
|
.Pa /etc/inetd.conf .
|
|
|
|
Here, we use a label named
|
|
.Dq ppp-in .
|
|
The entry in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
on ui-gate (the receiver) should contain the following:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp-in:
|
|
set timeout 0
|
|
set ifaddr 10.0.4.1 10.0.4.2
|
|
add 10.0.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.4.1
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
You may also want to enable PAP or CHAP for security. To enable PAP, add
|
|
the following line:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
enable PAP
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You'll also need to create the following entry in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
MyAuthName MyAuthPasswd
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The entry in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
on awfulhak (the initiator) should contain the following:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ui-gate:
|
|
set escape 0xff
|
|
set device ui-gate:ppp-in
|
|
set dial
|
|
set timeout 30 5 4
|
|
set log Phase Chat Connect Carrier hdlc LCP IPCP CCP tun
|
|
set ifaddr 10.0.4.2 10.0.4.1
|
|
add 10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.4.2
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Again, if you're enabling PAP, you'll also need:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set authname MyAuthName
|
|
set authkey MyAuthKey
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
We're assigning the address of 10.0.4.1 to ui-gate, and the address
|
|
10.0.4.2 to awfulhak.
|
|
|
|
To open the connection, just type
|
|
|
|
.Dl awfulhak # ppp -background ui-gate
|
|
|
|
The result will be an additional "route" on awfulhak to the
|
|
10.0.2.0/24 network via the TCP connection, and an additional
|
|
"route" on ui-gate to the 10.0.1.0/24 network.
|
|
|
|
The networks are effectively bridged - the underlying TCP
|
|
connection may be across a public network (such as the
|
|
Internet), and the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
traffic is conceptually encapsulated
|
|
(although not packet by packet) inside the TCP stream between
|
|
the two gateways.
|
|
|
|
The major disadvantage of this mechanism is that there are two
|
|
"guaranteed delivery" mechanisms in place - the underlying TCP
|
|
stream and whatever protocol is used over the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
link - probably TCP again. If packets are lost, both levels will
|
|
get in each others way trying to negotiate sending of the missing
|
|
packet.
|
|
|
|
.Sh PACKET ALIASING
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl alias
|
|
command line option enables packet aliasing. This allows the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
host to act as a masquerading gateway for other computers over
|
|
a local area network. Outgoing IP packets are aliased so that
|
|
they appear to come from the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
host, and incoming packets are de-aliased so that they are routed
|
|
to the correct machine on the local area network.
|
|
|
|
Packet aliasing allows computers on private, unregistered
|
|
subnets to have Internet access, although they are invisible
|
|
from the outside world.
|
|
|
|
In general, correct
|
|
.Nm
|
|
operation should first be verified with packet aliasing disabled.
|
|
Then, the
|
|
.Fl alias
|
|
option should be switched on, and network applications (web browser,
|
|
.Xr telnet 1 ,
|
|
.Xr ftp 1 ,
|
|
.Xr ping 8 ,
|
|
.Xr traceroute 8 )
|
|
should be checked on the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
host. Finally, the same or similar applications should be checked on other
|
|
computers in the LAN.
|
|
|
|
If network applications work correctly on the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
host, but not on other machines in the LAN, then the masquerading
|
|
software is working properly, but the host is either not forwarding
|
|
or possibly receiving IP packets. Check that IP forwarding is enabled in
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
|
|
and that other machines have designated the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
host as the gateway for the LAN.
|
|
|
|
.Sh PACKET FILTERING
|
|
|
|
This implementation supports packet filtering. There are four kinds of
|
|
filters; ifilter, ofilter, dfilter and afilter. Here are the basics:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
A filter definition has the following syntax:
|
|
|
|
set filter-name rule-no action [src_addr/src_width] [dst_addr/dst_width]
|
|
[proto [src [lt|eq|gt] port ]] [dst [lt|eq|gt] port] [estab]
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sq filter-name
|
|
should be one of ifilter, ofilter, dfilter or afilter.
|
|
.It
|
|
There are two actions:
|
|
.Sq permit
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq deny .
|
|
If a given packet
|
|
matches the rule, the associated action is taken immediately.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sq src_width
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq dst_width
|
|
work like a netmask to represent an address range.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sq proto
|
|
must be one of icmp, udp or tcp.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Sq port number
|
|
can be specified by number and service name from
|
|
.Pa /etc/services .
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Each filter can hold up to 20 rules, starting from rule 0.
|
|
The entire rule set is not effective until rule 0 is defined,
|
|
ie. the default is to allow everything through.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
If no rule is matched to a packet, that packet will be discarded
|
|
(blocked).
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Use
|
|
.Dq set filter-name -1
|
|
to flush all rules.
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
See
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.filter.example .
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh SETTING IDLE, LINE QUALITY REQUEST, RETRY TIMER
|
|
|
|
To check/set idle timer, use the
|
|
.Dq show timeout
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq set timeout [lqrtimer [retrytimer]]
|
|
commands:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> set timeout 600
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
The timeout period is measured in seconds, the default values for which
|
|
are timeout = 180 or 3 min, lqrtimer = 30sec and retrytimer = 3sec.
|
|
To disable the idle timer function, use the command
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ppp ON awfulhak> set timeout 0
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
In
|
|
.Fl auto
|
|
mode, an idle timeout causes the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
session to be
|
|
closed, though the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program itself remains running. Another trigger packet will cause it to
|
|
attempt to reestablish the link.
|
|
|
|
.Sh PREDICTOR-1 COMPRESSION
|
|
|
|
This version supports CCP and Predictor type 1 compression based on
|
|
the current IETF-draft specs. As a default behaviour,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will attempt to use (or be willing to accept) this capability when the
|
|
peer agrees (or requests it).
|
|
|
|
To disable CCP/predictor functionality completely, use the
|
|
.Dq disable pred1
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq deny pred1
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
.Sh CONTROLLING IP ADDRESS
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
uses IPCP to negotiate IP addresses. Each side of the connection
|
|
specifies the IP address that it's willing to use, and if the requested
|
|
IP address is acceptable then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
returns ACK to the requester. Otherwise,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
returns NAK to suggest that the peer use a different IP address. When
|
|
both sides of the connection agree to accept the received request (and
|
|
send ACK), IPCP is set to the open state and a network level connection
|
|
is established.
|
|
|
|
To control this IPCP behaviour, this implementation has the
|
|
.Dq set ifaddr
|
|
command for defining the local and remote IP address:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set ifaddr [src_addr [dst_addr [netmask [trigger_addr]]]]
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
where,
|
|
.Sq src_addr
|
|
is the IP address that the local side is willing to use,
|
|
.Sq dst_addr
|
|
is the IP address which the remote side should use and
|
|
.Sq netmask
|
|
is the netmask that should be used.
|
|
.Sq Src_addr
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq dst_addr
|
|
default to 0.0.0.0, and
|
|
.Sq netmask
|
|
defaults to whatever mask is appropriate for
|
|
.Sq src_addr .
|
|
It is only possible to make
|
|
.Sq netmask
|
|
smaller than the default. The usual value is 255.255.255.255.
|
|
Some incorrect
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
implementations require that the peer negotiates a specific IP
|
|
address instead of
|
|
.Sq src_addr .
|
|
If this is the case,
|
|
.Sq trigger_addr
|
|
may be used to specify this IP number. This will not affect the
|
|
routing table unless the other side agrees with this proposed number.
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set ifaddr 192.244.177.38 192.244.177.2 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
The above specification means:
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
I will first suggest that my IP address should be 0.0.0.0, but I
|
|
will only accept an address of 192.244.177.38.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
I strongly insist that the peer uses 192.244.177.2 as his own
|
|
address and won't permit the use of any IP address but 192.244.177.2.
|
|
When the peer requests another IP address, I will always suggest that
|
|
it uses 192.244.177.2.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
The routing table entry will have a netmask of 0xffffffff.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
This is all fine when each side has a pre-determined IP address, however
|
|
it is often the case that one side is acting as a server which controls
|
|
all IP addresses and the other side should obey the direction from it.
|
|
|
|
In order to allow more flexible behaviour, `ifaddr' variable allows the
|
|
user to specify IP address more loosely:
|
|
|
|
.Dl set ifaddr 192.244.177.38/24 192.244.177.2/20
|
|
|
|
A number followed by a slash (/) represent the number of bits significant in
|
|
the IP address. The above example signifies that:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
.It

I'd like to use 192.244.177.38 as my address if it is possible, but I'll

|
also accept any IP address between 192.244.177.0 and 192.244.177.255.

I'd like to make him use 192.244.177.2 as his own address, but I'll also

192.244.191.255.
|

As you may have already noticed, 192.244.177.2 is equivalent to saying
|
|
192.244.177.2/32.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
As an exception, 0 is equivalent to 0.0.0.0/0, meaning that I have no

preferred IP address and will obey the remote peers selection. When

using zero, no routing table entries will be made until a connection
|
|
is established.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
192.244.177.2/0 means that I'll accept/permit any IP address but I'll

try to insist that 192.244.177.2 be used first.

.Sh CONNECTING WITH YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER
|
|
|
|
The following steps should be taken when connecting to your ISP:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
Describe your providers phone number(s) in the dial script using the
|
|
.Dq set phone
|
|
command. This command allows you to set multiple phone numbers for
|
|
dialing and redialing separated by either a pipe (|) or a colon (:)
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set phone "111[|222]...[:333[|444]...]...
|
|
.Ed
|
|
Numbers after the first in a pipe-separated list are only used if the
|
|
previous number was used in a failed dial or login script. Numbers
|
|
separated by a colon are used sequentially, irrespective of what happened
|
|
as a result of using the previous number. For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set phone "1234567|2345678:3456789|4567890"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Here, the 1234567 number is attempted. If the dial or login script fails,
|
|
the 2345678 number is used next time, but *only* if the dial or login script
|
|
fails. On the dial after this, the 3456789 number is used. The 4567890
|
|
number is only used if the dial or login script using the 3456789 fails. If
|
|
the login script of the 2345678 number fails, the next number is still the
|
|
3456789 number. As many pipes and colons can be used as are necessary
|
|
(although a given site would usually prefer to use either the pipe or the
|
|
colon, but not both). The next number redial timeout is used between all
|
|
numbers. When the end of the list is reached, the normal redial period is
|
|
used before starting at the beginning again.
|
|
|
|
The selected phone number is substituted for the \\\\T string in the
|
|
.Dq set dial
|
|
command (see below).
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Set up your redial requirements using
|
|
.Dq set redial .
|
|
For example, if you have a bad telephone line or your provider is
|
|
usually engaged (not so common these days), you may want to specify
|
|
the following:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set redial 10 4
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This says that up to 4 phone calls should be attempted with a pause of 10
|
|
seconds before dialing the first number again.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Describe your login procedure using the
|
|
.Dq set dial
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq set login
|
|
commands. The
|
|
.Dq set dial
|
|
command is used to talk to your modem and establish a link with your
|
|
ISP, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 4 \\"\\" ATZ OK-ATZ-OK ATDT\\\\T TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This modem "chat" string means:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
Abort if the string "BUSY" or "NO CARRIER" are received.
|
|
.It
|
|
Set the timeout to 4.
|
|
.It
|
|
Expect nothing.
|
|
.It
|
|
Send ATZ.
|
|
.It
|
|
Expect OK. If that's not received, send ATZ and expect OK.
|
|
.It
|
|
Send ATDTxxxxxxx where xxxxxxx is the next number in the phone list from
|
|
above.
|
|
.It
|
|
Set the timeout to 60.
|
|
.It
|
|
Wait for the CONNECT string.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
Once the connection is established, the login script is executed. This
|
|
script is written in the same style as the dial script:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set login "TIMEOUT 15 login:-\\\\r-login: awfulhak word: xxx ocol: PPP HELLO"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This login "chat" string means:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
Set the timeout to 15 seconds.
|
|
.It
|
|
Expect "login:". If it's not received, send a carriage return and expect
|
|
"login:" again.
|
|
.It
|
|
Send "awfulhak"
|
|
.It
|
|
Expect "word:" (the tail end of a "Password:" prompt).
|
|
.It
|
|
Send "xxx".
|
|
.It
|
|
Expect "ocol:" (the tail end of a "Protocol:" prompt).
|
|
.It
|
|
Send "PPP".
|
|
.It
|
|
Expect "HELLO".
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Login scripts vary greatly between ISPs.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Use
|
|
.Dq set line
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq set speed
|
|
to specify your serial line and speed, for example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set line /dev/cuaa0
|
|
set speed 115200
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Cuaa0 is the first serial port on FreeBSD. If you're running
|
|
.Nm
|
|
on OpenBSD, cua00 is the first. A speed of 115200 should be specified
|
|
if you have a modem capable of bit rates of 28800 or more. In general,
|
|
the serial speed should be about four times the modem speed.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
Use the
|
|
.Dq set ifaddr
|
|
command to define the IP address.
|
|
.Bl -bullet
|
|
.It
|
|
If you know what IP address your provider uses, then use it as the remote
|
|
address (dst_addr), otherwise choose something like 10.0.0.2/0 (see below).
|
|
.It
|
|
If your provider has assigned a particular IP address to you, then use
|
|
it as your address (src_addr).
|
|
.It
|
|
If your provider assigns your address dynamically, choose a suitably
|
|
unobtrusive and unspecific IP number as your address. 10.0.0.1/0 would
|
|
be appropriate. The bit after the / specifies how many bits of the
|
|
address you consider to be important, so if you wanted to insist on
|
|
something in the class C network 1.2.3.0, you could specify 1.2.3.1/24.
|
|
.It
|
|
If you find that your ISP accepts the first IP number that you suggest,
|
|
specify third and forth arguments of
|
|
.Dq 0.0.0.0 .
|
|
This will force your ISP to assign a number. (The third argument will
|
|
be ignored as it is less restrictive than the default mask for your
|
|
.Sq src_addr .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An example for a connection where you don't know your IP number or your
|
|
ISPs IP number would be:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set ifaddr 10.10.10.10/0 10.10.11.11/0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
In most cases, your ISP will also be your default router. If this is
|
|
the case, add the lines
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
delete ALL
|
|
add 0 0 HISADDR
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
to
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This tells
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to delete all non-direct routing entries for the tun interface that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is running on, then to add a default route to 10.10.11.11.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you're using dynamic IP numbers, you must also put these two lines
|
|
in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
delete ALL
|
|
add 0 0 HISADDR
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
HISADDR is a macro meaning the "other side"s IP number, and is
|
|
available once an IP number has been agreed (using IPCP).
|
|
Now, once a connection is established,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will delete all non-direct interface routes, and add a default route
|
|
pointing at the peers IP number. You should use the same label as the
|
|
one used in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If commands are being typed interactively, the only requirement is
|
|
to type
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
add 0 0 HISADDR
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
after a successful dial.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
If your provider requests that you use PAP/CHAP authentication methods, add
|
|
the next lines to your
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
|
|
file:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
set authname MyName
|
|
set authkey MyPassword

.Ed
|

deals with the following signals:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20
|
|
.It INT
|
|
Receipt of this signal causes the termination of the current connection
|
|

to exit unless it is in
|
|
.Fl auto
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl ddial
|
|
mode.

|
These signals tell
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to exit.
|
|
|
|
.It USR1
|
|
This signal, when not in interactive mode, tells
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to close any existing server socket and open an Internet socket using
|
|
port 3000 plus the current tunnel device number. This can only be
|
|
achieved if a suitable local password is specified in

These directives tell
|

.Nm
|
|
how to negotiate the initial connection with the peer. Each
|
|
.Dq option
|
|
has a default of either accept or deny and enable or disable.
|
|
.Dq Accept
|
|
means that the option will be ACK'd if the peer asks for it.
|
|
.Dq Deny
|
|
means that the option will be NAK'd if the peer asks for it.
|
|
.Dq Enable
|
|
means that the option will be requested by us.
|
|
.Dq Disable
|
|
means that the option will not be requested by us.
|

|
|
.Dq Option
|
|
may be one of the following:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20
|
|
.It vjcomp
|
|
Default: Enabled and Accepted. This option decides if Van Jacobson
|
|
header compression will be used.
|
|
|
|
.It lqr
|
|
Default: Disabled and Accepted. This option decides if Link Quality
|
|
Requests will be sent. LQR is a protocol that allows
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to determine that the link is down without relying on the modems
|
|
carrier detect.
|
|
|
|
.It chap
|
|
Default: Disabled and Accepted. CHAP stands for Challenge Handshake
|
|
Authentication Protocol. Only one of CHAP and PAP (below) may be
|
|
negotiated. With CHAP, the authenticator sends a "challenge" message
|
|
to its peer. The peer uses a one-way hash function to encrypt the
|
|
challenge and sends the result back. The authenticator does the same,
|
|
and compares the results. The advantage of this mechanism is that no
|
|
passwords are sent across the connection.
|
|
|
|
A challenge is made when the connection is first made. Subsequent
|
|
challenges may occur. If you want to have your peer authenticate
|
|
itself, you must
|
|
.Dq enable chap .
|
|
in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf ,
|
|
and have an entry in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret
|
|
for the peer.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When using CHAP as the client, you need only specify
|
|
.Dq AuthName
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq AuthKey
|
|
in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .
|
|
CHAP is accepted by default.
|
|
|
|
Some
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
implementations use "MS-CHAP" rather than MD5 when encrypting the
|
|
challenge. Refer to the description of the
|
|
.Dq set encrypt
|
|
command for further details.
|
|
|
|
.It pap
|
|
Default: Disabled and Accepted. PAP stands for Password Authentication
|
|
Protocol. Only one of PAP and CHAP (above) may be negotiated. With
|
|
PAP, the ID and Password are sent repeatedly to the peer until
|
|
authentication is acknowledged or the connection is terminated. This
|
|
is a rather poor security mechanism. It is only performed when the
|
|
connection is first established.
|
|
|
|
If you want to have your peer authenticate itself, you must
|
|
.Dq enable pap .
|
|
in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf ,
|
|
and have an entry in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret
|
|
for the peer (although see the
|
|
.Dq passwdauth
|
|
option below).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When using PAP as the client, you need only specify
|
|
.Dq AuthName
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq AuthKey
|
|
in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.conf .
|
|
PAP is accepted by default.
|
|
|
|
.It acfcomp
|
|
Default: Enabled and Accepted. ACFComp stands for Address and Control
|
|
Field Compression. Non LCP packets usually have very similar address
|
|
and control fields - making them easily compressible.
|
|
|
|
.It protocomp
|
|
Default: Enabled and Accepted. This option is used to negotiate
|
|
PFC (Protocol Field Compression), a mechanism where the protocol
|
|
field number is reduced to one octet rather than two.
|
|
|
|
.It pred1
|
|
Default: Enabled and Accepted. This option decides if Predictor 1
|
|
compression will be used.
|
|
|
|
.It msext
|
|
Default: Disabled. This option allows the use of Microsoft's
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
extensions, supporting the negotiation of the DNS and the NetBIOS NS.
|
|
Enabling this allows us to pass back the values given in "set ns"
|
|
and "set nbns".
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
The following options are not actually negotiated with the peer.
|
|
Therefore, accepting or denying them makes no sense.
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20
|
|
.It proxy
|
|
Default: Disabled. Enabling this option will tell
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to proxy ARP for the peer.
|
|
|
|
.It passwdauth
|
|
Default: Disabled. Enabling this option will tell the PAP authentication
|
|
code to use the password file (see
|
|
.Xr passwd 5 )
|
|
to authenticate the caller rather than the
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
.It utmp
|
|
Default: Enabled. Normally, when a user is authenticated using PAP or
|
|
CHAP, and when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is running in
|
|
.Fl direct
|
|
mode, an entry is made in the utmp and wtmp files for that user. Disabling
|
|
this option will tell
|
|
.Nm
|
|
not to make any utmp or wtmp entries. This is usually only necessary if
|
|
you require the user to both login and authenticate themselves.

.Pp
|
|
User id 0 is immune to these commands.
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20
|
|
.It allow user|users logname...
|
|
By default, only user id 0 is allowed access. If this command is specified,
|
|
all of the listed users are allowed access to the section in which the
|
|
.Dq allow users
|
|
command is found. The
|
|
.Sq default
|
|
section is always checked first (although it is only ever automatically
|
|
loaded at startup). Each successive
|
|
.Dq allow users
|
|
command overrides the previous one, so it's possible to allow users access
|
|
to everything except a given label by specifying default users in the
|
|
.Sq default
|
|
section, and then specifying a new user list for that label.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If user
|
|
.Sq *
|
|
is specified, access is allowed to all users.
|
|
|
|
.It allow mode|modes modelist...
|
|
By default, access using all
|
|
.Nm
|
|
modes is possible. If this command is used, it restricts the access
|
|
modes allowed to load the label under which this command is specified.
|
|
Again, as with the
|
|
.Dq allow users
|
|
command, each
|
|
.Dq allow modes
|
|
command overrides the previous, and the
|
|
.Sq default
|
|
section is always checked first.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Possible modes are:
|
|
.Sq interactive ,
|
|
.Sq auto ,
|
|
.Sq direct ,
|
|
.Sq dedicated ,
|
|
.Sq ddial ,

.Sq background
|

.Sq * .
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.It alias .....
|
|
This command allows the control of the aliasing (or masquerading)
|
|
facilities that are built into
|
|
.Nm ppp .
|
|
Until this code is required, it is not loaded by
|
|
.Nm ppp ,
|
|
and it is quite possible that the alias library is not installed
|
|
on your system (some administrators consider it a security risk).
|
|
|
|
If aliasing is enabled on your system, the following commands are
|
|
possible:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20
|
|
.It alias enable [yes|no]
|
|
This command either switches aliasing on or turns it off.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl alias
|
|
command line flag is synonymous with
|
|
.Dq alias enable yes .
|
|
|
|
.It alias port [proto targetIP:targetPORT [aliasIP:]aliasPORT]
|
|
This command allows us to redirect connections arriving at
|
|
.Dq aliasPORT
|
|
for machine [aliasIP] to
|
|
.Dq targetPORT
|
|
on
|
|
.Dq targetIP .
|
|
If proto is specified, only connections of the given protocol
|
|
are matched. This option is useful if you wish to run things like
|
|
Internet phone on the machines behind your gateway.
|
|
|
|
.It alias addr [addr_local addr_alias]
|
|
This command allows data for
|
|
.Dq addr_alias
|
|
to be redirected to
|
|
.Dq addr_local .
|
|
It is useful if you own a small number of real IP numbers that
|
|
you wish to map to specific machines behind your gateway.
|
|
|
|
.It alias deny_incoming [yes|no]
|
|
If set to yes, this command will refuse all incoming connections
|
|
by dropping the packets in much the same way as a firewall would.
|
|
|
|
.It alias log [yes|no]
|
|
This option causes various aliasing statistics and information to
|
|
be logged to the file
|
|
.Pa /var/log/alias.log .
|
|
|
|
.It alias same_ports [yes|no]
|
|
When enabled, this command will tell the alias library attempt to
|
|
avoid changing the port number on outgoing packets. This is useful
|
|
if you want to support protocols such as RPC and LPD which require
|
|
connections to come from a well known port.
|
|
|
|
.It alias use_sockets [yes|no]
|
|
When enabled, this option tells the alias library to create a
|
|
socket so that it can guarantee a correct incoming ftp data or
|
|
IRC connection.
|
|
|
|
.It alias unregistered_only [yes|no]
|
|
Only alter outgoing packets with an unregistered source ad-
|
|
dress. According to RFC 1918, unregistered source addresses
|
|
are 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16.
|
|
|
|
.It alias help|?
|
|
This command gives a summary of available alias commands.
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.It [!]bg command
|
|
The given command is executed in the background.
|
|
Any of the pseudo arguments
|
|
.Dv HISADDR ,
|
|
.Dv INTERFACE
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv MYADDR
|
|
will be replaced with the appropriate values. If you wish to pause
|
|
.Nm
|
|
while the command executes, use the
|
|
.Dv shell
|
|
command instead.
|
|
|
|
.It close
|
|
Close the current connection (but don't quit).
|
|
|
|
.It delete ALL | dest [gateway [mask]]
|
|
If
|
|
.Dq ALL
|
|
is specified, all non-direct entries in the routing for the interface
|
|
that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is using are deleted. This means all entries for tunN, except the entry
|
|
representing the actual link. When
|
|
.Dq ALL
|
|
is not used, any existing route with the given
|
|
.Dq dest ,
|
|
destination network
|
|
.Dq mask
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq gateway
|
|
is deleted. The default
|
|
.Dq mask
|
|
value is 0.0.0.0.
|
|
|
|
.It dial|call [remote]
|
|
If
|
|
.Dq remote
|
|
is specified, a connection is established using the
|
|
.Dq dial
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq login
|
|
scripts for the given
|
|
.Dq remote
|
|
system. Otherwise, the current settings are used to establish
|
|
the connection.
|
|
|
|
.It display
|
|
Displays the current status of the negotiable protocol
|
|
values as specified under
|
|
.Dq accept|deny|enable|disable option....
|
|
above.
|
|
|
|
.It down
|
|
Bring the link down ungracefully, as if the physical layer had become
|
|
unavailable. It's not considered polite to use this command.
|
|
|
|
.It help|? [command]
|
|
Show a list of available commands. If
|
|
.Dq command
|
|
is specified, show the usage string for that command.
|
|
|
|
.It load [remote]
|
|
Load the given
|
|
.Dq remote
|
|
label. If
|
|
.Dq remote
|
|
is not given, the
|
|
.Dq default
|
|
label is assumed.
|
|
|
|
.It passwd pass
|
|
Specify the password required for access to the full
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command set.
|
|
|
|
.It quit|bye [all]
|
|
Exit
|
|
.Nm ppp .
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is in interactive mode or if the
|
|
.Dq all
|
|
argument is given,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will exit, closing the connection. A simple
|
|
.Dq quit
|
|
issued from a
|
|
.Xr pppctl 8
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr telnet 1
|
|
session will not close the current connection.
|
|
|
|
.It save
|
|
This option is not (yet) implemented.
|
|
|
|
.It set[up] var value
|
|
This option allows the setting of any of the following variables:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20
|
|
.It set accmap hex-value
|
|
ACCMap stands for Asyncronous Control Character Map. This is always
|
|
negotiated with the peer, and defaults to a value of 0x00000000.
|
|
This protocol is required to defeat hardware that depends on passing
|
|
certain characters from end to end (such as XON/XOFF etc).
|
|
|
|
.It set filter-name rule-no action [src_addr/src_width]
|
|
[dst_addr/dst_width] [proto [src [lt|eq|gt] port ]]
|
|
[dst [lt|eq|gt] port] [estab]
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Ppp
|
|
supports four filter sets. The afilter specifies packets that keep
|
|
the connection alive - reseting the idle timer. The dfilter specifies
|
|
packets that cause
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to dial when in
|
|
.Fl auto
|
|
mode. The ifilter specifies packets that are allowed to travel
|
|
into the machine and the ofilter specifies packets that are allowed
|
|
out of the machine. By default all filter sets allow all packets
|
|
to pass.
|
|
|
|
Rules are processed in order according to
|
|
.Dq n .
|
|
Up to 20 rules may be given for each set. If a packet doesn't match
|
|
any of the rules in a given set, it is discarded. In the case of
|
|
ifilters and ofilters, this means that the packet is dropped. In
|
|
the case of afilters it means that the packet will not reset the
|
|
idle timer and in the case of dfilters it means that the packet will
|
|
not trigger a dial.
|
|
|
|
Refer to the section on PACKET FILTERING above for further details.
|
|
|
|
.It set authkey|key value
|
|
This sets the authentication key (or password) used in client mode
|
|
PAP or CHAP negotiation to the given value. It can also be used to
|
|
specify the password to be used in the dial or login scripts, preventing
|
|
the actual password from being logged.
|
|
|
|
.It set authname id
|
|
This sets the authentication id used in client mode PAP or CHAP negotiation.
|
|
|
|
.It set ctsrts
|
|
This sets hardware flow control and is the default.
|
|
|
|
.It set device|line value
|
|
This sets the device to which
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will talk to the given
|
|
.Dq value .
|
|
All serial device names are expected to begin with
|
|
.Pa /dev/ .
|
|
If
|
|
.Dq value
|
|
does not begin with
|
|
.Pa /dev/ ,
|
|
it must be of the format
|
|
.Dq host:port .
|
|
If this is the case,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will attempt to connect to the given
|
|
.Dq host
|
|
on the given
|
|
.Dq port .
|
|
Refer to the section on
|
|
.Em PPP OVER TCP
|
|
above for further details.
|
|
|
|
.It set dial chat-script
|
|
This specifies the chat script that will be used to dial the other
|
|
side. See also the
|
|
.Dv set login
|
|
command below. Refer to
|
|
.Xr chat 8
|
|
and to the example configuration files for details of the chat script
|
|
format. The string \\\\T will be replaced with the current phone number
|
|
(see
|
|
.Dq set phone
|
|
below) and the string \\\\P will be replaced with the password (see
|
|
.Dq set key
|
|
above).
|
|
|
|
.It set hangup chat-script
|
|
This specifies the chat script that will be used to reset the modem
|
|
before it is closed. It should not normally be necessary, but can
|
|
be used for devices that fail to reset themselves properly on close.
|
|
|
|
.It set encrypt MSChap|MD5
|
|
This specifies the encryption algorithm to request and use when issuing
|
|
the CHAP challenge, and defaults to MD5. If this is set to MSChap,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will behave like a Microsoft RAS when sending the CHAP challenge (assuming
|
|
CHAP is enabled). When responding to a challenge,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
determines how to encrypt the response based on the challenge, so this
|
|
setting is ignored.
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width NOTE:
|
|
.It NOTE:
|
|
Because the Microsoft encryption algorithm uses a combination of MD4 and DES,
|
|
if you have not installed DES encryption software on your machine
|
|
before building
|
|
.Nm ppp ,
|
|
this option will not be available - only MD5 will be used.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.It set escape value...
|
|
This option is similar to the
|
|
.Dq set accmap
|
|
option above. It allows the user to specify a set of characters that
|
|
will be `escaped' as they travel across the link.
|
|
|
|
.It set ifaddr [myaddr [hisaddr [netmask [triggeraddr]]]]
|
|
This command specifies the IP addresses that will be used during
|
|
IPCP negotiation. Addresses are specified using the format
|
|
|
|
.Dl a.b.c.d/n
|
|
|
|
Where a.b.c.d is the preferred IP, but n specifies how many bits
|
|
of the address we will insist on. If the /n bit is omitted, it
|
|
defaults to /32 unless the IP address is 0.0.0.0 in which case
|
|
the mask defaults to /0.
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
.Dq triggeraddr
|
|
is specified, it is used in place of
|
|
.Dq myaddr
|
|
in the initial IPCP negotiation. However, only an address in the
|
|
.Dq myaddr
|
|
range will be accepted.
|
|
|
|
.It set loopback on|off
|
|
When set to
|
|
.Dq on
|
|
(the default),
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will automatically loop back packets being sent
|
|
out with a destination address equal to that of the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
interface. If set to
|
|
.Dq off ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will send the packet, probably resulting in an ICMP redirect from
|
|
the other end.
|
|
|
|
.It set log [local] [+|-]value...
|
|
This command allows the adjustment of the current log level. Refer
|
|
to the Logging Facility section for further details.
|
|
|
|
.It set login chat-script
|
|
This chat-script compliments the dial-script. If both are specified,
|
|
the login script will be executed after the dial script. Escape
|
|
sequences available in the dial script are also available here.
|
|
|
|
.It set mru value
|
|
The default MRU is 1500. If it is increased, the other side *may*
|
|
increase its mtu. There is no use decreasing the MRU to below the
|
|
default as the
|
|
.Em PPP
|
|
protocol *must* be able to accept packets of at
|
|
least 1500 octets.
|
|
|
|
.It set mtu value
|
|
The default MTU is 1500. This may be increased by the MRU specified
|
|
by the peer. It may only be subsequently decreased by this option.
|
|
Increasing it is not valid as the peer is not necessarily able to
|
|
receive the increased packet size.
|
|
|
|
.It set openmode active|passive
|
|
By default, openmode is always active. That is,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will always initiate LCP/IPCP/CCP negotiation. If you want to wait for the
|
|
peer to initiate negotiations, you may use the value
|
|
.Dq passive .
|
|
|
|
.It set parity odd|even|none|mark
|
|
This allows the line parity to be set. The default value is none.
|
|
|
|
.It set phone telno[|telno]...[:telno[|telno]...]...
|
|
This allows the specification of the phone number to be used in
|
|
place of the \\\\T string in the dial and login chat scripts.
|
|
Multiple phone numbers may be given separated by a pipe (|) or
|
|
a colon (:). Numbers after the pipe are only dialed if the dial or login
|
|
script for the previous number failed. Numbers separated by a colon are
|
|
tried sequentially, irrespective of the reason the line was dropped.
|
|
If multiple numbers are given,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will dial them according to these rules until a connection is made, retrying
|
|
the maximum number of times specified by
|
|
.Dq set redial
|
|
below. In
|
|
.Fl background
|
|
mode, each number is attempted at most once.
|
|
|
|
.It set reconnect timeout ntries
|
|
Should the line drop unexpectedly (due to loss of CD or LQR
|
|
failure), a connection will be re-established after the given
|
|
.Dq timeout .
|
|
The line will be re-connected at most
|
|
.Dq ntries
|
|
times.
|
|
.Dq Ntries
|
|
defaults to zero. A value of
|
|
.Dq random
|
|
for
|
|
.Dq timeout
|
|
will result in a variable pause, somewhere between 0 and 30 seconds.
|
|
|
|
.It set redial seconds[.nseconds] [attempts]
|
|
.Nm Ppp
|
|
can be instructed to attempt to redial
|
|
.Dq attempts
|
|
times. If more than one number is specified (see
|
|
.Dq set phone
|
|
above), a pause of
|
|
.Dq nseconds
|
|
is taken before dialing each number. A pause of
|
|
.Dq seconds
|
|
is taken before starting at the first number again. A value of
|
|
.Dq random
|
|
may be used here too.
|
|
|
|
.It set stopped [LCPseconds [IPCPseconds [CCPseconds]]]
|
|
If this option is set,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will time out after the given FSM (Finite State Machine) has been in
|
|
the stopped state for the given number of
|
|
.Dq seconds .
|
|
This option may be useful if you see
|
|
.Nm
|
|
failing to respond in the stopped state. Use
|
|
.Dq set log +lcp +ipcp +ccp
|
|
to make
|
|
.Nm
|
|
log all state transitions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The default value is zero, where
|
|
.Nm
|
|
doesn't time out in the stopped state.
|
|
|
|
.It set server|socket TcpPort|LocalName|none [password] [mask]
|
|
This command tells
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to listen on the given socket or
|
|
.Sq diagnostic port
|
|
for incoming command connections. This is not possible if
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is in interactive mode. The word
|
|
.Ar none
|
|
instructs
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to close any existing socket. If you wish to specify a unix domain
|
|
socket,
|
|
.Ar LocalName
|
|
must be specified as an absolute file name, otherwise it is assumed
|
|
to be the name or number of a TCP port. You may specify the octal umask that
|
|
should be used with unix domain sockets as a four character octal number
|
|
beginning with
|
|
.Sq 0 .
|
|
Refer to
|
|
.Xr umask 2
|
|
for umask details. Refer to
|
|
.Xr services 5
|
|
for details of how to translate TCP port names.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You may also specify the password that must be used by the client when
|
|
connecting to this socket. If the password is not specified here,
|
|
.Pa /etc/ppp/ppp.secret
|
|
is searched for a machine name that's the same as your local host name
|
|
without any domain suffix. Refer to
|
|
.Xr hostname 1
|
|
for further details. If a password is specified as the empty string,
|
|
no password is required.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When using
|
|
.Nm
|
|
with a server socket, the
|
|
.Xr pppctl 8
|
|
command is the preferred mechanism of communications. Currently,
|
|
.Xr telnet 1
|
|
can also be used, but link encryption may be implemented in the future, so
|
|
.Xr telnet 1
|
|
should not be relied upon.
|
|
|
|
.It set speed value
|
|
This sets the speed of the serial device.
|
|
|
|
.It set timeout Idle [ lqr [ retry ] ]
|
|
This command allows the setting of the idle timer, the LQR timer (if
|
|
enabled) and the retry timer.
|
|
|
|
.It set ns x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
|
|
This option allows the setting of the Microsoft DNS servers that
|
|
will be negotiated.
|
|
|
|
.It set nbns x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
|
|
This option allows the setting of the Microsoft NetBIOS DNS servers that
|
|
will be negotiated.
|
|
|
|
.It set help|?
|
|
This command gives a summary of available set commands.
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.It shell|! [command]
|
|
If
|
|
.Dq command
|
|
is not specified a shell is invoked according to the
|
|
.Dv SHELL
|
|
environment variable. Otherwise, the given command is executed.
|
|
Any of the pseudo arguments
|
|
.Dv HISADDR ,
|
|
.Dv INTERFACE
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv MYADDR
|
|
will be replaced with the appropriate values. Use of the ! character
|
|
requires a following space as with any other commands. You should note
|
|
that this command is executed in the foreground -
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will not continue running until this process has exited. Use the
|
|
.Dv bg
|
|
command if you wish processing to happen in the background.
|
|
|
|
.It show var
|
|
This command allows the user to examine the following:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20
|
|
.It show [adio]filter
|
|
List the current rules for the given filter.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
It has since had an enormous face lift and looks substantially different.
