 <sect>Setting up user PPP<label id="userppp">
 
 <p><em>Contributed by &a.nik;<newline>

 <!--  This FAQ/HowTo is intended to get you up and running with
   iijppp, also known as the <em>user level ppp</em> for FreeBSD 2.0.5
   (and above).
 
   I hope this document turns into a collaborative effort, largely
   because I am not really much of an authority on PPP. I've got
   it working, and want to pass on details of what I did so that
   other people can get it working. But I'm not 100% clear on some
   details, so I hope that by writing this and haveing others
   flesh out some of the information I'm going to learn something
   as well.

   <p>User PPP was intruduced to FreeBSD in release 2.0.5 as an
   addition to the exisiting kernel implementation of PPP.  So,
   what is different about this new PPP that warrants its
   addition?  To quote from the manual page:
 
 <quote>
        This is a user process PPP software package. Normally, PPP is
        implemented as a part of the kernel (e.g. as managed by pppd) and
        it's thus somewhat hard to debug and/or modify its behavior. However,
        in this implementation PPP is done as a user process with the help of
        the tunnel device driver (tun).
 </quote>
 
   In essence, this means that rather than running a PPP daemon, the ppp
   program can be run as and when desired. No PPP interface needs to be
   compiled into the kernel, as the program can use the generic tunnel
   device to to get data into and out of the kernel.
 
   From here on out, user ppp will be referred to as simply as ppp unless a
   distinction need to be made be it and any other PPP client/server software.
   Unless otherwise stated, all commands in this section should be
   executed as root.
 
   Parts in this section marked with an asterisk (*) are
   incomplete.  Comments and suggestions are appreciated and
   should be submitted to &a.nik;.
   Thanks to Rob Snow &lt;rsnow@txdirect.net&gt; who proved to be a mine of
   useful information when I was first experimenting with user ppp.
 
 <sect1>Before you start
 
 <p>This document assumes you're in roughly this position:
 
     You have an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) which lets you
     use PPP. Further, you have a modem (or other device) connected and
     configured correctly which allows you to connect to your ISP.
 
   You are going to need the following information to hand:
 
 <itemize>
     <item>IP address of your ISP's gateway
     
     <item>Your ISP's netmask setting
 
     <item>IP adresses of one or more nameservers
 
     <item>If your ISP allocates you a static IP address and/or hostname then
       you will need that as well. If not, you will need to know from what
       range of IP addresses your allocated IP address will fall in.
 </itemize>
 
   If you do not have any of this information then contact your ISP and make
   sure they provide it to you.
 
   As well as this, you may need the files required to recompile
   your kernel. Check <ref id="kernelconfig" name="Kernel
   Configuration"> for more information on how to acquire these.
 
   In addition, I've assumed that because your connection to the Internet is  
   not full time you are not running a name server (<tt>named(8)</tt>).
 
 <sect1>Building a ppp ready kernel
 
 <p>As the description states, ``ppp'' uses the kernel ``tun'' device. It is
   necessary to make sure that your kernel has support for this device compiled
   in.
 
   To check this, go to your kernel compile directory (probably /sys/i386/conf)
   and examine your kernel configuration file. It needs to have the line
 <tscreen><verb>
 pseudo-device	  tun		1
 </verb></tscreen>
   in it somewhere. The stock GENERIC kernel has this as standard, so if you
   have not installed a custom kernel you don't have to change anything.
   If your kernel configuration file does not have this line in it then you
   should add the line, re-compile and then re-install the kernel. Boot from
   this new kernel.
 
 <sect1>Check the tun device
 
 <p>My experiences with ppp have only been with one ``tun'' device (tun0). If
   you have used more (i.e., a number other than `1' in the pseudo-device line
   in the kernel configuration file) then alter all references to ``tun0''
   below to reflect whichever device number you are using.
 
   The easiest way to make sure that the tun0 device is configured correctly is
   to re-make it. To this end, execute the following commands,
 <tscreen><verb>
 # cd /dev
 # ./MAKEDEV tun0
 </verb></tscreen>
 
 <sect1>PPP Configuration
 
 <p>The meat of the problem.
 
   Confusingly, it appears that both user ppp and pppd (the kernel level
   implementation of PPP) both assume configuration files kept in
   /etc/ppp. However, the sample configuration files provided are good for
   user ppp, so keep them around for reference. The easiest way to do this is,
 <tscreen><verb>
 # cd /etc
 # mv ppp ppp.orig
 # mkdir ppp
 </verb></tscreen>
   Configuring ppp requires that you edit somewhere between one and three
   files, depending on your requirements. What you put in them depends to some
   extent on whether your ISP allocates IP addresses statically (i.e., you get
   given one IP address, and always use that one) or dynamically (i.e., your IP
   address can be different during different PPP sessions).
 
   However, there are a few things that you should do first, regardless of
   whether you are using static or dynamic IP addresses.
 
 
 <sect2>Configure the resolver(5)
 
 <p>The resolver is the part of the networking system that turns IP addresses
      into hostnames. It can be configured to look for maps that describe IP to
      hostname mappings in one of two places.
 
      The first is a file called /etc/hosts (``hosts'' in section 5 of the
      manual). The second is the Internet Domain Name Service, a distributed
      data base, the discussion of which is beyond the realm of this document.
 
      The resolver is a set of system calls that do the mappings,
      and you have to tell them where to get their information
      from. You do this by editing the file /etc/host.conf. Do
      <bf>not</bf> call this file /etc/hosts.conf (note the extra
      ``s'') as the results can be confusing.
 
      This file should contain the following two lines,
 <tscreen><verb>
 hosts
 bind
 </verb></tscreen>
      which instruct the resolver to look in the file /etc/hosts first, and
      then to consult the DNS if the name was not found in the /etc/hosts file.
 
      It's probably a good idea to make sure you are not running the ``named''
      service. Check your /etc/sysconfig file for the line that refers to
      ``namedflags'', and make sure the line reads
 <tscreen><verb>
 namedflags="NO"
 </verb></tscreen>
 
 <sect2>Create the /etc/hosts(5) file
 
 <p>This file should contain the IP addresses and names of machines on your
      network. At a bare minimum it should contain entries for the machine
      which will be running ppp. Assuming that you're machine is called
      foo.bar.com with the IP address 10.0.0.1, /etc/hosts should contain
 <tscreen><verb>
 127.0.0.0    localhost
 10.0.0.1     foo.bar.com	       foo
 </verb></tscreen>
      The first line defines the alias ``localhost'' as a synonym for the
      current machine. Regardless of your own IP address, the IP address for
      this line should always be 127.0.0.1. The second line maps the name
      ``foo.bar.com'' (and the shorthand ``foo'') to the IP address 10.0.0.1.
 
      If your provider allocates you a static IP address then use this in place
      of 10.0.0.1.

-     allocated an IP address dynamically?)</em>
+     <!-- XXX <em>(* What should they do if they are
+     allocated an IP address dynamically?)</em> -->
 
 <sect2>Create the /etc/resolv.conf file
 
 <p>/etc/resolv.conf contains some extra information required when you are
      not running a nameserver. It points the resolver routines at real
      nameservers, and specifies some other information.
 
      At the very least, /etc/resolv.conf should contain one line with a
      nameserver which can be queried. You should enter this as an IP
      address. My /etc/resolv.conf contains
 <tscreen><verb>
 nameserver 158.152.1.193
 nameserver 158.152.1.65
 </verb></tscreen>
      Which are Demon Internet's two nameservers. Add as many ``nameserver''
      lines as your ISP provides nameservers.
 
 <sect1>PPP and static IP addresses
 
 <p>Probably the easiest to configure for. You will need to create three files
     in the /etc/ppp directory.
 
     The first of these is ppp.conf. It should look similar to the example
     below. Note that lines that end in a ``:'' start in column 1, all other
     lines should be indented as shown.
 
     /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
 <tscreen><verb>
 1     default:
 2       set device /dev/cuaa0
 3       set speed 9600
 4       disable lqr
 5       deny lqr
 6       set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK
 \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
 7      provider:
 8        set phone 01234567890
 9	 set login "TIMEOUT 10 gin:-BREAK-gin: foo word: bar col: ppp"
 10       set timeout 120
 11       set ifaddr x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
 </verb></tscreen>
     Don't include the line numbers, they're just for this discussion.
 
 <descrip>
 <tag/Line 1:/ Identifies the default entry. Commands in this entry are
               executed automatically when ppp is run.
 
 <tag/Line 2:/ Identifies the device that has the modem hanging from it.
               COM1: is /dev/cuaa0 and COM2: is /dev/cuaa1
 
 <tag/Line 3:/ Sets the speed you want to connect at.
 
 <tag/* Lines 4 and 5:/ Don't know exactly what effect these lines have
 
 <tag/Line 6:/ Dial string commands. user ppp uses the chat(8) language. Check
               the manual page for information on the features of this
 	      language.
 
 <tag/Line 7:/ Identifies an entry for a provider called ``provider''.
 
 <tag/Line 8:/ Sets the phone number for this provider. Don't include any
               spaces in the phone number.
 
 <tag/Line 9:/ Set's the login string sequence. In this example, the string is
 	      for a service who's login session looks like
 <tscreen><verb>
 J. Random Provider
 login: foo
 password: bar
 protocol: ppp
 </verb></tscreen>
 	      You will need to alter this script to suit your own needs. It is
 	      written in the chat(8) language.
 
 <tag/Line 10:/ Sets the default timeout (in seconds) for the connection. So
 	      the connectioned will be closed automatically after 120 seconds
 	      of inactivity.
 
 <tag/Line 11:/ Sets the interface addresses. The string x.x.x.x should be
               replaced by the IP address that your provider allocates you. The
 	      string y.y.y.y should be replaced by the IP address that your
 	      ISP indicated for their gateway.
 </descrip>
 
     Now you have to edit the file /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup:
 <tscreen><verb>
 x.x.x.x:
   add 0 0 HISADDR
 </verb></tscreen>
     Replace x.x.x.x with your IP address as before. This file is used to
     automatically add a default route from your ISP (who's address is
     automatically inserted with the HISADDR macro) to you.
 
     Finally, you can create the file /etc/ppp/ppp.secret, which sets some
     passwords to prevent people messing around with ppp on your system. You
     may or may not want to do this, depending on how many people have access
     to your ppp system.

 <sect1>Final system configuration
 
 <p>You now have PPP configured, but there's a few more things to do before
     it's ready to work. They all involve editing the /etc/sysconfig file.
 
     Working from the top down in this file, make sure the ``hostname='' line
     is set, e.g.,
 <tscreen><verb>
 hostname=foo.bar.com
 </verb></tscreen>
     Look for the network_interfaces variable, and make sure the tun0 device is
     added to the list. My line looks like
 <tscreen><verb>
 network_interfaces="lo0 tun0 ep0"
 </verb></tscreen>
     but I have an ethernet card (ep0) to configure as well.
 
     Now add an ifconfig line for the tun0 device. It should look something
     like
 <tscreen><verb>
 ifconfig_tun0="inet foo.bar.com y.y.y.y netmask 0xffffffff"
 </verb></tscreen>
     as before, change ``foo.bar.com'' to be your hostname, y.y.y.y is the IP
     address of your providers gateway, and 0xffffffff is the netmask they
     provided you with (in hexadecimal). Two common values for the netmask are
 <tscreen><verb>
 255.255.255.255 = 0xffffffff
 255.255.255.0   = 0xffffff00
 </verb></tscreen>
     Set the routed flags to ``-s'' with the line
 <tscreen><verb>
 routedflags=-s
 </verb></tscreen>
     It's probably worth your while ensuring that the ``sendmail_flags'' line
     does not include the ``-q'' option, otherwise sendmail will attempt to do
     a network lookup every now and then, possibly causing your machine to dial
     out. My sendmail line looks like
 <tscreen><verb>
 sendmail_flags="-bd"
 </verb></tscreen>
     The upshot of this is that I must force sendmail to re-examine the
     mailqueue whenever I have the PPP link up, by typing
 <tscreen><verb>
 # /usr/sbin/sendmail -q
 </verb></tscreen>
     That should be about all you need to do to get PPP working with a static
     IP address. All that's left is to reboot the machine. During startup the
     tun0 device should be detected, and two lines like the following should be
     printed,
 <tscreen><verb>
 tun0: flags=51<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING> mtu 1500
 inet x.x.x.x --> y.y.y.y netmask 0xffffffff 
 </verb></tscreen>
     At this point, it should all be working. You can now either type
 <tscreen><verb>
 # ppp
 </verb></tscreen>
     and then ``dial provider'' to start the PPP session, or, if you want ppp
     to establish sessions automatically when there is outbound traffic, type
 <tscreen><verb>
 # ppp -auto provider
 </verb></tscreen>
     This line could be added to your /etc/rc.local file.
