Setting up PPP and KPPPD
wall "Internet connection established ($4)"
echo 'date' CONNECT $4 >> /var/log/ppplog
Save the file. Create the file /etc/ppp/ip-down.local, and out the following
commands :
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/killall -9 named
/usr/sbin/named /etc/named.conf
grep -v pppconnection /etc/hosts > /tmp/hosts.tmp
mv /tmp/hosts.tmp /etc/hosts
wall "Internet connection lost"
echo 'date' DISCONNECT >> /var/log/ppplog Save the file.
Make both files executable:
Chmod +x /etc/ppp/*.local
Copy the file "/etc/named.conf" to "/etc/named.conf.online".
Then edit the file "/etc/named.conf" and remove the following 4 lines
from it:
Zone "." {
Type hint;
File "named.ca";
};
Save the file.
Dialing out
Set "Connect to" to the account you want to dial, enable "Show
Log Window", and hit the Connect button.
The System will now start dialing. You can watch the progress in the log window.
Once you are connected, the Connection window will minimize in the right bottom
corner. To disconnect, click on the modem icon and choose Disconnect.
Fire up Netscape if you haven't used K>utilities>Menu Editor to add Netscape
to the menu, just open a terminal window and type "Netscape &".
There, this is the end. Now get ready for a practical ride on KPPPD in your
own machine.
