- PPP-compile guide... (1-28-98)
-
- You can get the latest version of ppp from the home site of ppp.
-
- ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp <-Home site.)
-
- ppp-2.3.3.tar.gz etc.
- =============================================================================
-
- ~# tar xzvf ppp-2.3.3.tar.gz
-
- ppp-2.3.3# configure
- # make kernel <-Then compile the kernel,
- # make see below.)
- # make install
- # cp -r scripts /etc/ppp
-
- If your service provider uses (c)all (b)ack (c)onfiguration (p)rotocol,
- you have to compile ppp-2.?.? to support cbcp.
-
- Do this in ppp-2.?.? to get cbcp support.
-
- ppp-2.3.3# patch -p1 < README.cbcp
-
- If you want microsoft ms-chap-80 support do this below in
- ppp-2.3.3/pppd/Makefile.linux.
-
- # Uncomment the next 2 lines to include support for Microsoft's
- # MS-CHAP authentication protocol.
- CHAPMS=y
- USE_CRYPT=y
-
- Read: ppp-2.3.3/README.MSCHAP80
-
- You need to have 'libdes.a' on your system to compile ppp-2.?.? with
- ms-chap-80 support, either in /lib/libdes.a or /usr/lib/libdes.a, also
- put 'des.h' from libdes in /usr/include/des.h.
-
- If you happen to have /usr/lib/libcrypt.a or libcrypt.so.? on your
- system you don't need to get libdes, ppp-2.3.3 will use it instead.
-
- You can get libdes from:
-
- ftp://ftp.psy.uq.oz.au/pub/Crypto/DES "libdes-4.01.tar.gz"
-
- 4.01 is the latest as of this writing, there's also a patch
- for 4.01 libdes-4.01.patch1.
-
- libdes-4.01# patch -p0 < libdes-4.01.patch1
- libdes-4.01# make x86-elf <-To compile on linux elf system.)
-
- I have no experience with cbcp or ms-chap-80, but a sample options file
- might look like this.
-
- Sample /etc/ppp/options file.
-
- lock
- defaultroute
- noipdefault
- modem
- /dev/modem
- 38400
- crtscts
- debug
- passive
- callback "7771818"
- user "jerry"
- remotename "foo.boo.com"
-
- Your "phone number" for the callback, include the quotation marks.
-
- The 'user' option is just required for pap, chap, or ms-chap, it would
- be your username when you login to your service provider.
-
- In addition to the name option ms-chap-80 requires the remotename option,
- it would be your service providers domain name.
-
- If your service provider is using PAP, your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file
- should look like this.
-
- # Username Server Password
- jerry * password
-
- If your service provider is using CHAP, your /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file
- should look like this.
-
- # Username Server Password
- jerry foo.boo.com password
- foo.boo.com jerry password
-
- The Server should be your internet service providers domain name,
- if not sure just put * for Server.
-
- The Password should be the password for jerry.
-
- The permissions on /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or chap-secrets should be.
-
- ~# chmod 600 /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
-
- More and more service providers are using PAP or CHAP for authentication,
- you should ask your ISP if they are using PAP or CHAP, it could save you
- a lot of wasted time.
-
- If you're having a problem making the ppp connection, look at the
- /var/log/messages and or debug file for the output from pppd and
- chat.
-
- The output from pppd and chat should also be in the /var/log/pppd.chat
- file if you're using pppsetup.
-
- =============================================================================
- Compiling PPP as a module...
- =============================================================================
-
- ~# dmesg | grep -i ppp
- PPP: version 2.?.? <-You have PPP in the kernel.)
-
- If you have PPP compiled in the kernel, you'll have to compile the
- whole kernel for the new ppp.
-
- If you don't have PPP compiled in the kernel you don't have to compile
- the whole kernel, just answer yes to these questions below and (m)odule
- for ppp.
-
- If your present kernel is 2.0.33, the kernel source in /usr/src/linux
- must be from 2.0.33 also etc.
-
- ~# uname -r <-To see what kernel version you're running.)
- 2.0.33
-
- Look at /usr/src/linux/Makefile, it should say 2.0.33 also etc.
-
- VERSION = 2
- PATCHLEVEL = 0
- SUBLEVEL = 33
-
- If your kernel was 2.0.33 and the kernel source in /usr/src/linux was
- 2.0.34 for example, you could change it to 2.0.33.
-
- VERSION = 2
- PATCHLEVEL = 0
- SUBLEVEL = 34
-
- VERSION = 2 <-Change it to match 'uname -r' then put it
- PATCHLEVEL = 0 back after 'make modules_install' below.
- SUBLEVEL = 33
-
- ~# cd /usr/src/linux
- /usr/src/linux# make config <-Configure kernel source.)
-
- It doesn't matter how you answer all the other questions, you can just
- press enter and accept the defaults, just be sure that these questions
- below are answered like this.
-
- etc...
- Enable loadable module support (CONFIG_MODULES) [Y/n/?] y
- etc...
- Networking support (CONFIG_NET) [Y/n/?] y
- etc...
- TCP/IP networking (CONFIG_INET) [Y/n/?] y
- etc...
- Network device support (CONFIG_NETDEVICES) [Y/n/?] y
- etc...
- PPP (point-to-point) support (CONFIG_PPP) [N/y/m/?] m <-Answer (m)odule.)
- etc...
-
- /usr/src/linux# make modules <-Compile ppp module.)
- # make modules_install <-Install ppp etc. modules.)
-
- You should have a /lib/modules/2.0.33/net directory with these
- modules in it.
-
- ppp.o
- slhc.o
- bsd_comp.o
- ppp_deflate.o
-
- ~# depmod -a <-Create /lib/modules/?/modules.dep file.)
- # modprobe slhc <-You should load slhc also.)
- # modprobe ppp <-To load the ppp module.)
- # lsmod <-To see what modules are loaded.)
- # rmmod slhc <-To unload slhc.)
- # rmmod ppp <-To unload ppp.)
-
- If you have any linux ppp questions or problems, you can post them
- to these newsgroups.
