NAME

       smpppd.conf - global smpppd configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       When  smpppd  and smpppd-ifcfg start they first load their configuration from /etc/smpppd.conf, which contains basic information concerning
       their behavior.

       The configuration file /etc/smpppd.conf has a simple file format with a key = value pair in each line.

OPTIONS

       stop-on-disconnect = always, notdemand or never
	      Shall the dialup connection be shutdown when the last frontend disconnects?  Default value is always.

       reload-selects-default-provider = yes or no
	      Shall a reload (SIGHUP) select the default provider for all interfaces or keep the current one?  Default value is yes.

       open-inet-socket = yes or no
	      Shall the smpppd open a internet connection, so that remote frontends can control the dialup connection?	Default value is no.

       slp-register = yes or no
	      Try to register at the slp daemon (service location protocol) if set to yes and an internet connection is opened.

       bind-address = <ip-address>
	      Specify the ip address on which to listen for connections from remote frontends.	The default is to listen on all addresses.

       host-range = <min ip-address> <max ip-address>
	      Specify a host range from which remote frontends are allowed to connect to the smpppd.

       password = <password>
	      The password used to authenticate remote frontends, UTF-8 encoded for those who really care.  If the password is empty, no authenti-
	      cation is done.

       number-of-loglines = <lines>
	      The number of lines to keep in the log.  Default is 250.

       accounting = yes or no
	      Enable or disable accounting.  Default is yes.

       alive-interval = <seconds>
	      Interval for alive lines in the accounting log.  A value of 0 disables alive lines.  Default value is 900.

       debug = yes or no
	      Turn debugging on or off.  Default is off.  This can also be controlled at runtime with cinternet.
