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.
