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 the dialup connection be shutdown when the last frontend disconnects? Default value is always.

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.

Try to register at the slp daemon (service location protocol) if set to yes and an internet connection is opened.
