1 This file describes the installation process for ppp-2.3 on systems
2 running Solaris 2. The Solaris 2 and SVR4 ports share a lot of code
3 but are not identical. The STREAMS kernel modules and driver for
4 Solaris 2 are in the svr4 directory (and use some code from the

19 If you wish to use gcc (or another compiler) instead of Sun's cc, edit
20 the svr4/Makedefs file and uncomment the definition of CC. You can
21 also change the options passed to the C compiler by editing the COPTS

28 This installs pppd, chat and pppstats in /usr/local/bin and the kernel
29 modules in /kernel/drv and /kernel/strmod, and creates the /etc/ppp
30 directory and populates it with default configuration files. You can
31 change the installation directories by editing svr4/Makedefs.
33 If your system normally has only one network interface, the default
34 Solaris 2 system startup scripts will disable IP forwarding in the IP
35 kernel module. This will prevent the remote machine from using the
36 local machine as a gateway to access other hosts. The solution is to
37 create an /etc/ppp/ip-up script containing something like this:
40 /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/ip ip_forwarding 2
42 Under Solaris 2.6, the value 2 is invalid; use 1 instead. See the man
43 page for ip(7p) for details.
