addpppin(1M)

NAME
     addpppin - add a PPP incoming entry.

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/privbin/addppppin -n loginName/sysName -t connType [ -p ] [
     -a authType ] [ -y appType ] [ -l localIPAddr ] [ -r remoteIPAddr ] [ -h
     remoteHostName ] [ -fu ]

DESCRIPTION
     Addpppin adds a PPP incoming entry to the system to enable the named
     account or system to have the right to call into this host using the PPP
     protocol. Please refer to PPP(1M) for a detail description of the input
     parameters.

     It is important to note that if you do not set up an incoming connection,
     a remote workstation may be able to connect to your workstation using an
     existing user account, such as "guest".  This can be an important
     security issue.

OPTIONS
     -n loginName/sysName
               LoginName or sysName is the unique name given to identify the
               incoming entry.

     -t connType
               The type of equipement at the physical layer. It supports
               "MODEM" and "ISDN" and is case insensitive.

     -p        Addpppin will request the user to enter a password on stdin
               that the calling account or system must use to login.

     -a authType
               It supports "PAP", "CHAP", "NOPAP", and "NOCHAP" and they are
               case insensitive.

     -y appType
               The type of applications. When not specified or specified as 0,
               it means simple applications and no special parameters are
               added. When it is equal to 1, it means Audio/Video application
               and special parameters are added to customize by this command.

     -l localIPAddr
               IP address of the local host in dotted notation. It is only
               needed if the IP address is different from the IP address of
               the local machine.

     -r remoteIPAddr
               The IP address of the remote host in dotted notation. If it is
               not specified, the remote host address is obtained through
               negotiation during handshaking.
     -h remoteHostName
               The name of the remote host. It is required if the -f flag is
               present.

     -f        Add the remote host name and IP address to /etc/hosts file.

     -u        Add default route for the remote host.

FILES
     /etc/ppp.conf    PPP configuration file
     /etc/passwd      User account password file
     /etc/hosts       System host name file
