Installing the PPP Packages
1.
Connect a CD-ROM drive configured with ID 6 to the SCSI port
of your SPARCbook (see Chapter 7, “Using SCSI Devices”) and
load it with the Solaris distribution CD.
2.
Reboot your SPARCbook, create a mount point and mount the
CD-ROM as follows:
# cd /
# mkdir /cdrom
# mount -r /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0
3.
Install the PPP packages with the following command:
# pkgadd -d /cdrom/Solaris_2.5 SUNWpppk SUNWapppu
SUNWapppr
Note
If you use
pkgadd
, it is important to load the packages in the order shown in the
above command. The packages can also be installed using
admintool
.
4.
Follow the displayed instructions to complete the installation.
Editing the system files
ò
Editing the /etc /hosts File
It is necessary to do this on your SPARCbook and on every system on
a remote network with which you may need to communicate. This is
necessary regardless of the name service in use because PPP starts
before the name service daemons during the boot process.
You will need to consult the system administrator for the network to
obtain the correct host name and IP address for your SPARCbook and
other machines on the network.
