They provide optional features and are not needed for normal 8operation. 9 10The pppdump utility reads files produced by the pppd "record" option 11and produces human-readable output. This can be useful when debugging 12problems with the kernel data compression modules, but is otherwise 13generally not as useful as the debugging features already built into 14pppd. 15 16The minconn.so plugin sets a minimum initial connect time when the 17"idle" option is used. 18 19The passprompt.so plugin allows PAP to be used with external prompting 20programs, such as xprompt. This allows the password to be supplied 21interactively, in much the same manner as on PCs. 22 23To build, simply type "make". Depending on how your system is 24configured, you may need to specify the compiler to use, like this: 25 26 % make CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc 27 28To install, you will need to be root (or at least have write 29permission to the /etc/ppp/plugins, /usr/bin, and /usr/share/man/man1m 30directories). 31 32 # make install 33
