These are GNU utilities that can be used with the Solaris version of

PPP. They provide optional features and are not needed for normal

operation.

The pppdump utility reads files produced by the pppd "record" option

and produces human-readable output. This can be useful when debugging

problems with the kernel data compression modules, but is otherwise

generally not as useful as the debugging features already built into

pppd.

The minconn.so plugin sets a minimum initial connect time when the

"idle" option is used.

The passprompt.so plugin allows PAP to be used with external prompting

programs, such as xprompt. This allows the password to be supplied

interactively, in much the same manner as on PCs.

To build, simply type "make". Depending on how your system is

configured, you may need to specify the compiler to use, like this:

% make CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc

To install, you will need to be root (or at least have write

permission to the /etc/ppp/plugins, /usr/bin, and /usr/share/man/man1m

directories).

# make install
