If you've downloaded the source, here is an outline of what you have to
do:
(1) Uncompress the archive, wich is tarred and gzipped
tar -xzvf ppp-970824.src.tar.gz
I am using ppp-979824 as an example, but you might
have another date.
(2) Go into the ppp-979824 directory
(3) type "make" to compile everything. You
will first see routines in the libhack
subdirectory compiled and then the
ppp subdirectory.
(4) If everthing compiles successfully, the
su to root to get superuser status and
type "make install"
(4b) If everything does not compile
properly, please consult this
mailing list again.
(5) It is not a bad idea to read the man
page for ppp -- it is getting pretty
informative these days. Also, if you
are interested in packet aliasing
(also known as IP masquerading), consult
the README.alias file in the ppp-970824/ppp
source directory. Finally, there is a
ppp tutorial in the FreeBSD html handbook.
