| 1This file summarises changes made to ppp that effect 2its configuration. 3 4It does not describe new features, rather it attempts 5to answer any `this used to work, why doesn't it now?' 6questions. 7 8o The `set debug' command was replaced with `set log'. --- 20 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 29o The default `device' is cuaa1, then cuaa0 30o A password of "*" in ppp.secret causes a passwd database lookup in 31 pap mode. 32o The value of the CONNECT environment variable is logged in the 33 utmp host field in -direct mode. 34o Out-of-sequence FSM packets (IPCP/LCP/CCP) are dropped by default. 35o Reconnect values are used after an LQR timeout. 36o ^C works on the parent in -background mode. | 1This file summarises changes made to ppp that effect 2its configuration. 3 4It does not describe new features, rather it attempts 5to answer any `this used to work, why doesn't it now?' 6questions. 7 8o The `set debug' command was replaced with `set log'. --- 20 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 29o The default `device' is cuaa1, then cuaa0 30o A password of "*" in ppp.secret causes a passwd database lookup in 31 pap mode. 32o The value of the CONNECT environment variable is logged in the 33 utmp host field in -direct mode. 34o Out-of-sequence FSM packets (IPCP/LCP/CCP) are dropped by default. 35o Reconnect values are used after an LQR timeout. 36o ^C works on the parent in -background mode. |

| 38 do not lose control while dialing. 39o The `display' command has been removed. All information is available 40 with the appropriate `show' command. 41o Msext does not need to be enabled/disabled. Setting the NBNS (set nbns) 42 will auto enable it. The DNS side may be enabled/disabled, and if 43 enabled without a `set dns' will use values from /etc/resolv.conf. 44o Filters are now called `allow', `dial', `in' and `out'. `set 45 ifilter ...' becomes `set filter in ...' etc. 46o Authname and Authkey may only be `set' in phase DEAD. 47o Set encrypt is no longer necessary. Ppp will respond to M$CHAP 48 servers correctly if it's built with DES. 49o Throughput statistics are enabled by default. 50o `Set stopped' only has two parameters. It's no longer possible to 51 have an IPCP stopped timer. 52o `Set timeout' only has one parameter. Use `set lqrperiod' and `set 53 {lcp,ccp,ipcp,chap,pap}retry' for the other timers. `show timeout' | 38 do not lose control while dialing. 39o The `display' command has been removed.

| 71o Command line options only need enough characters to uniquely identify 72 them. -a == -auto, -dd == -ddial etc. -interactive is also allowed. |
