+Introduction.
 *************
 
-1. Run the configure script and make the user-level programs and the
-   kernel modules.
-
-	./configure
-	make
-
-    The configure script will automatically find Sun's cc if it's in
-    the standard location (/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc).  If you do not have
-    Sun's WorkShop compiler, configure will attempt to use 'gcc'.  If
-    this is found and you have a 64 bit kernel, it will check that gcc
-    accepts the "-m64" option, which is required to build kernel
-    modules.
-
-    You should not have to edit the Makefiles for most ordinary cases.
-
-2. Install the programs and kernel modules: as root, do
-
-	make install
-
-    This installs pppd, chat and pppstats in /usr/local/bin and the
-    kernel modules in /kernel/drv and /kernel/strmod, and creates the
-    /etc/ppp directory and populates it with default configuration
-    files.  You can change the installation directories by editing
-    solaris/Makedefs.  If you have a 64 bit kernel, the 64-bit drivers
-    are installed in /kernel/drv/sparcv9 and /kernel/strmod/sparcv9.
-
-    If your system normally has only one network interface at boot
-    time, the default Solaris system startup scripts will disable IP
-    forwarding in the IP kernel module.  This will prevent the remote
-    machine from using the local machine as a gateway to access other
-    hosts.  The solution is to create an /etc/ppp/ip-up script
-    containing something like this:
-
-	#!/bin/sh
-	/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/ip ip_forwarding 1
-
-    See the man page for ip(7p) for details.

-Integrated pppd
-***************
+  This file describes the installation process for ppp-2.5 on systems
+  running an OpenSolaris-derived OS, such as Illumos or OpenIndiana.
+  For these systems, the STREAMS kernel modules are supplied with the
+  OS itself and are used as-is by this distribution. For more
+  information on these distributions (including kernel source) see:
 
-  Solaris 8 07/01 (Update 5) and later have an integrated version of
-  pppd, known as "Solaris PPP 4.0," and is based on ppp-2.4.0.  This
-  version comes with the standard Solaris software distribution and is
-  supported by Sun.  It is fully tested in 64-bit and SMP modes, and
-  with bundled and unbundled synchronous drivers.  Solaris 8 10/01
-  (Update 6) and later includes integrated PPPoE client and server
-  support, with kernel-resident data handling.  See pppd(1M).
+    https://www.illumos.org/
+    https://illumos.org/docs/about/distro/
 
-  The feature is part of the regular full installation, and is
-  provided by these packages:
+  For Oracle Solaris systems, either use the vendor-supplied PPP
+  implementation ("Solaris PPP 4.0" based on pppd-2.4.0), or download
+  an older version of the pppd sources here:
 
-	SUNWpppd	- 32-bit mode kernel drivers
-	SUNWpppdr	- root-resident /etc/ppp config samples
-	SUNWpppdu	- /usr/bin/pppd itself, plus chat
-	SUNWpppdx	- 64-bit mode kernel drivers
-	SUNWpppdt	- PPPoE support
-	SUNWpppg	- GPL'd optional 'pppdump' and plugins
-	SUNWpppgS	- Source for GPL'd optional features
+    https://download.samba.org/pub/ppp/
 
-  Use the open source version of pppd if you wish to recompile to add
-  new features or to experiment with the code.  Production systems,
-  however, should run the Sun-supplied version, if at all possible.
+  The last version known to compile and run correctly on Oracle
+  Solaris 10 is pppd-2.4.8. It may be possible to compile and use
+  newer versions on either Solaris 11 or by installing third-party
+  compilers; this has not been tested.
 
-  You can run both versions on a single system if you wish.  The
-  Solaris PPP 4.0 interfaces are named "spppN," while this open source
-  version names its interfaces as "pppN".  The STREAMS modules are
-  similarly separated.  The Sun-supplied pppd lives in /usr/bin/pppd,
-  while the open source version installs (by default) in
-  /usr/local/bin/pppd.
 
-Dynamic STREAMS Re-Plumbing Support.
-************************************
-
-  Solaris 8 (and later) includes dynamic re-plumbing support.  With
-  this feature, modules below ip can be inserted, or removed, without
-  having the ip stream be unplumbed, and re-plumbed again.  All state
-  in ip for the interface will be preserved as modules are added or
-  removed.  Users can install (or upgrade) modules such as firewall,
-  bandwidth manager, cache manager, tunneling, etc., without shutting
-  the interface down.
-
-  To support this, ppp driver now uses /dev/udp instead of /dev/ip for
-  the ip stream. The interface stream (where ip module pushed on top
-  of ppp) is then I_PLINK'ed below the ip stream. /dev/udp is used
-  because STREAMS will not let a driver be PLINK'ed under itself, and
-  /dev/ip is typically the driver at the bottom of the tunneling
-  interfaces stream.  The mux ids of the ip streams are then added
-  using SIOCSxIFMUXID ioctl.
-
-  Users will be able to see the modules on the interface stream by,
-  for example:
-
-    pikapon# ifconfig ppp modlist
-    0 ip
-    1 ppp
-
-  Or arbitrarily if bandwidth manager and firewall modules are installed:
-
-    pikapon# ifconfig hme0 modlist
-    0 arp
-    1 ip
-    2 ipqos
-    3 firewall
-    4 hme
-
-Snoop Support.
-**************
-
-  This version includes support for /usr/sbin/snoop.  Tests have been
-  done on Solaris 7 through 9. Only IPv4 and IPv6 packets will be sent
-  up to stream(s) marked as promiscuous (i.e., those used by snoop).
-
-  Users will be able to see the packets on the ppp interface by, for
-  example:
-
-    snoop -d ppp0
-
-  See the man page for snoop(1M) for details.
-
-IPv6 Support.
+Installation.
 *************
 
-  This is for Solaris 8 and later.
-
-  This version has been tested under Solaris 8 and 9 running IPv6.
-  Interoperability testing has only been done between Solaris machines
-  in terms of the IPV6 NCP.  An additional command line option for the
-  pppd daemon has been added: ipv6cp-use-persistent.
+1. Make sure you have a suitable compiler installed. This package was
+   tested with "pkg install gcc-14" but other modern compilers should
+   work.
 
-  By default, compilation for IPv6 support is not enabled.  Uncomment
-  the necessary lines in pppd/Makefile.sol2 to enable it.  Once done,
-  the quickest way to get IPv6 running is to add the following
-  somewhere in the command line option:
+2. Run the configure script and build the package.
 
-	+ipv6 ipv6cp-use-persistent
+     ./configure --with-runtime-dir=/var/run --with-logfile-dir=/var/log/ppp
+     make
 
-  The persistent id for the link-local address was added to conform to
-  RFC 2472; such that if there's an EUI-48 available, use that to make
-  up the EUI-64.  As of now, the Solaris implementation extracts the
-  EUI-48 id from the Ethernet's MAC address (the ethernet interface
-  needs to be up).  Future work might support other ways of obtaining
-  a unique yet persistent id, such as EEPROM serial numbers, etc.
+   The configure script will automatically find the compiler if it's in
+   the standard location (/usr/bin/gcc). By default, everything will be
+   installed in /usr/local. Use "--prefix" to choose a different
+   installation directory if desired. Use "./configure -h" to see other
+   options.
 
-  There need not be any up/down scripts for ipv6,
-  e.g. /etc/ppp/ipv6-up or /etc/ppp/ipv6-down, to trigger IPv6
-  neighbor discovery for auto configuration and routing.  The in.ndpd
-  daemon will perform all of the necessary jobs in the
-  background. /etc/inet/ndpd.conf can be further customized to enable
-  the machine as an IPv6 router. See the man page for in.ndpd(1M) and
-  ndpd.conf(4) for details.
+3. Install the programs.
 
-  Below is a sample output of "ifconfig -a" with persistent link-local
-  address.  Note the UNNUMBERED flag is set because hme0 and ppp0 both
-  have identical link-local IPv6 addresses:

+   This installs the following:
 
-  Note also that a plumbed ipv6 interface stream will exist throughout
-  the entire PPP session in the case where the peer rejects IPV6CP,
-  which further causes the interface state to stay down. Unplumbing
-  will happen when the daemon exits. This is done by design and is not
-  a bug.
