As shipped in IRIX 6.5. First release of IRIX 6.5.
NAME PppManager - PPP Manager SYNOPSIS /usr/sysadm/bin/runcatalog /usr/sysadm/catalogdf/SaPppCatalog.cdf DESCRIPTION Managers display information about your system and provide access to interactive guides (also called tasks) that let you administer your system. For example, the User Manager displays a list of the user accounts currently on the system and gives you access to guides like "Add a User Account" and "Modify a User Account". In the Manager window, you can open a guide by choosing its name from the Task menu or by clicking its button at the bottom of the window. The PPP manager displays a list of incoming and outgoing PPP entry that is created on your system. You can create a PPP entry to be used either over an ISDN or modem line. Please refer to ppp(1M) for more information on PPP. GUIDES Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users through the steps necessary to perform various system administration tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking on the system. A guide typically consists of a series of pages that prompt users to enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages using the Prev and Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys). When the user reaches the last page of a guide and clicks the OK button, the system executes one or more commands to perform the system administration task. These commands are located in /usr/sysadm/privcmd. See addpppin(1M), addpppout(1M), execppp(1M), getallpppinisdn(1M), getallpppinmodem(1M), getallpppoutisdn(1M), getallpppoutmodem(1M), getpppin(1M), getpppout(1M), pppoutexists(1M), removepppin(1M), removepppout(1M), and stopppp(1M) for more information. Many of the guides require that a user either know the root password or be assigned the necessary privileges (using the PrivilegeManager(1M)) in order to perform the task. Add an Outgoing PPP Connection This task lets you create an Outgoing Connection, which allows your system to connect to a remote location using PPP over ISDN or modem. The privileges needed for this task are: Add Outgoing PPP(addpppout(1M)) and Test PPP Outgoing Existence(pppoutexists(1M)). Modify an Outgoing PPP Connection This task lets you change the settings for an existing Outgoing PPP Connection. The privileges needed for this task are: Add Outgoing PPP(addpppout(1M)), Remove Incoming PPP(removepppin(1M)), Remove Outgoing PPP(removepppout(1M)), Get ISDN Incoming PPP Entries(getallpppinisdn(1M)), Get ISDN Outgoing PPP Entry(getallpppoutisdn(1M)), Get Incoming PPP Entry(getpppin), Get Modem Incoming PPP Entries(getallpppinmodem(1M)), Get Modem Outgoing PPP Entries(getallpppoutmodem(1M)), and Get Outgoing PPP Entry(getpppout(1M)). Add an Incoming PPP Connection This task lets you create an Incoming Connection, which allows a remote location to connect to your system. The privilege needed for this task is: Add Incoming PPP(addpppin(1M)). Modify an Incoming PPP Connection This task lets you change the settings for an existing Incoming Connection. The privileges needed for this task are: Add Incoming PPP(addpppin(1M)), Delete PPP(deleteppp(1M)), Get ISDN Incoming PPP Entries(getallpppinisdn(1M)), Get ISDN Outgoing PPP Entry(getallpppoutisdn(1M)), Get Incoming PPP Entry(getpppin(1M)), Get Modem Incoming PPP Entries(getallpppinmodem(1M)), and Get Modem Outgoing PPP Entries(getallpppoutmodem(1M)). Remove a PPP Connection This task lets you remove a PPP connection. The privilege needed for this task are: Remove Incoming PPP(removepppin(1M)), Remove Outgoing PPP(removepppout(1M)), Get ISDN Incoming PPP Entries(getallpppinisdn(1M)), Get ISDN Outgoing PPP Entry(getallpppoutisdn(1M)), Get Modem Incoming PPP Entries(getallpppinmodem(1M)), and Get Modem Outgoing PPP Entries(getallpppoutmodem(1M)).
