MPD MULTI-LINK PPP DAEMON FOR FREEBSD
|
|
|
|
Release 1.0b5
|
|
Written by Archie Cobbs <archie@whistle.com>
|
|
Based on IIJ-PPP by Toshiharu OHNO <tony-o@iij.ad.jp>
|
|
|
|
Please see the CHANGES file if you are updating from mpd-1.0b3.
|
|
|
|
* WHAT IS IT?
|
|
|
|
A user-mode PPP daemon based on iij-ppp which supports multi-link PPP.
|
|
It is a complete re-write of the original iij-ppp code.
|
|
|
|
* HOW STABLE IS IT?
|
|
|
|
Most of this code has been thoroughly tested. Some parts, such
|
|
as compression, have not been tested very much at all. However,
|
|
the core of the daemon is very solid.
|
|
|
|
* HOW DO I BUILD AND INSTALL IT?
|
|
|
|
cd src
|
|
make depend all install
|
|
|
|
* HOW DO I SET IT UP?
|
|
|
|
You will need to create your own versions of the four required
|
|
configuration files in /etc/ppp:
|
|
|
|
mpd.conf - General configuration
|
|
mpd.links - Description of available links
|
|
mpd.script - Modem scripts
|
|
mpd.secret - Login/password pairs
|
|
|
|
If you're familiar with iij-ppp, the configuration method is
|
|
similar: commands are read from a file.
|
|
|
|
Check the "conf" subdirectory for configuration file examples.
|
|
|
|
Then append the following lines to /etc/syslog.conf and create an
|
|
empty /var/log/mpd.log file to get proper logging:
|
|
|
|
!mpd
|
|
*.* /var/log/mpd.log
|
|
|
|
Add a corresponding line to /etc/newsyslog.conf as well to get
|
|
proper log rotation.
|
|
|
|
If you want to start it as a background daemon at boot time,
|
|
add the appropriate line to /etc/rc.local, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
echo -n " mpd" ; /usr/local/bin/mpd -b
|
|
|
|
* WHAT'S THE COPYRIGHT STATUS?
|
|
|
|
Berkeley style: see ``COPYRIGHT.iij'' and ``COPYRIGHT.whistle''.
|
|
|
|
* WHERE CAN I READ MORE ABOUT IT?
|
|
|
|
In the "docs" directory is a preliminary man page and some other
|
|
assorted stuff. In the "conf" directory are example configuration
|
|
files with descriptive comments.
|
|
|
|
* WHERE CAN I GO FOR HELP?
|
|
|
|
Email me any questions <archie@whistle.com> and I'll do my best
|
|
to answer them.
