bind-address = ip address
If a host has several IP addresses, use this parameter to determine at which IP ad-
dress smpppd should accept connections. The default is to listen at all addresses.
host-range = min ipmax ip
The parameter host-range defines a network range. Hosts whose IP addresses
are within this range are granted access to smpppd. All hosts not within this range
are denied access.
password = password
By assigning a password, limit the clients to authorized hosts. As this is a plain-
text password, you should not overrate the security it provides. If no password is
assigned, all clients are permitted to access smpppd.
slp-register = yes|no
With this parameter, the smpppd service can be announced in the network via SLP.
More information about smpppd is available in the smpppd(8) and
smpppd.conf(5) man pages.
17.7.2 Configuring KInternet and cinternet
KInternet and cinternet can be used to control a local or remote smpppd. cinternet is
the command-line counterpart of the graphical KInternet. To prepare these utilities for
use with a remote smpppd, edit the configuration file /etc/smpppd-c.conf man-
ually or using KInternet. This file only uses four options:
sites = list of sites
Here, tell the front-ends where to search for smpppd. The front-ends test the options
in the order specified here. The local option orders the establishment of a con-
nection to the local smpppd. The gateway option points to an smpppd on the
gateway. The config-file indicates that the connection should be established
to the smpppd specified in the server and port options in the /etc/smpppd-c
.conf file. slp orders the front-ends to connect to an smpppd found via SLP.
