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

	      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.
