6 These are GNU utilities that can be used with the Solaris version of
7 PPP. They provide optional features and are not needed for normal
8 operation.
9
10 The pppdump utility reads files produced by the pppd "record" option
11 and produces human-readable output. This can be useful when debugging
12 problems with the kernel data compression modules, but is otherwise
13 generally not as useful as the debugging features already built into
14 pppd.
15
16 The minconn.so plugin sets a minimum initial connect time when the
17 "idle" option is used.
18
19 The passprompt.so plugin allows PAP to be used with external prompting
20 programs, such as xprompt. This allows the password to be supplied
21 interactively, in much the same manner as on PCs.

23 To build, simply type "make". Depending on how your system is
24 configured, you may need to specify the compiler to use, like this:
25
26 % make CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc
27
28 To install, you will need to be root (or at least have write
29 permission to the /etc/ppp/plugins, /usr/bin, and /usr/share/man/man1m
30 directories).
31
32 # make install
