6*0Sstevel@tonic-gateThese are GNU utilities that can be used with the Solaris version of
7*0Sstevel@tonic-gatePPP.  They provide optional features and are not needed for normal
8*0Sstevel@tonic-gateoperation.
9*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
10*0Sstevel@tonic-gateThe pppdump utility reads files produced by the pppd "record" option
11*0Sstevel@tonic-gateand produces human-readable output.  This can be useful when debugging
12*0Sstevel@tonic-gateproblems with the kernel data compression modules, but is otherwise
13*0Sstevel@tonic-gategenerally not as useful as the debugging features already built into
14*0Sstevel@tonic-gatepppd.
15*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
16*0Sstevel@tonic-gateThe minconn.so plugin sets a minimum initial connect time when the
17*0Sstevel@tonic-gate"idle" option is used.
18*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
19*0Sstevel@tonic-gateThe passprompt.so plugin allows PAP to be used with external prompting
20*0Sstevel@tonic-gateprograms, such as xprompt.  This allows the password to be supplied
21*0Sstevel@tonic-gateinteractively, in much the same manner as on PCs.
22*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
23*0Sstevel@tonic-gateTo build, simply type "make".  Depending on how your system is
24*0Sstevel@tonic-gateconfigured, you may need to specify the compiler to use, like this:
25*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
26*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	% make CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc
27*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
28*0Sstevel@tonic-gateTo install, you will need to be root (or at least have write
29*0Sstevel@tonic-gatepermission to the /etc/ppp/plugins, /usr/bin, and /usr/share/man/man1m
30*0Sstevel@tonic-gatedirectories).
31*0Sstevel@tonic-gate
32*0Sstevel@tonic-gate	# make install
