Main change is to use $(INSTALL) instead of cp in install target along with $(DESTDIR) variable. We also remove installation of user ~/.wmppprc config file -- this isn't useful for sysadmins or package maintainers. We also update INSTALL to reflect the changes.

Installation instructions for WMPPP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE!
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Installing this program requires root privileges, ask your
|
|
local system/network administrator kindly if she/he wants
|
|
to install this software for you ;-)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
- root access
|
|
|
|
To be able to complete the installation you'll need
|
|
to make changes in the system's /etc/ directory,
|
|
the installation copies the GLOBAL config files
|
|
there, don't worry, nothing will be overwritten ;-)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
1) % tar -zxvf wmppp-1.x.x-tar.gz
|
|
2) % make all
|
|
3) % su root
|
|
4) # make install
|
|
5) # vi ~/.wmppprc
|
|
set up the paths to your ppp start,
|
|
stop & restart scripts
|
|
|
|
6) % wmppp & (try 'wmppp -h &' for help)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extra Install Info For Site Administrators!
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
For site administrators who don't want their users messing
|
|
up pppd's configuration files, but do want them to be able
|
|
to make a dialup connection, a sample system.rc file is
|
|
included (system.wmppprc), please take a look at it!
|
|
|
|
The installation will install a standard rc file in /etc
|
|
WITHOUT the 'force' option! You can also create one in
|
|
$HOME (~/.wmpprc).
|
|
|
|
How it works:
|
|
|
|
WMPPP first scans /etc/ if there is a wmppprc present.
|
|
|
|
If true, it will scan if the keyword 'force' is trailing
|
|
a command, for example 'forceleft' instead of 'left'.
|
|
|
|
If the keywords 'force' are indeed trailing the 'normal'
|
|
commands, all user .wmppprc files will be ignored i.e.
|
|
OVERRIDDEN ;-)
|
|
|
|
If the 'force' keyword is not found in /etc/wmppprc,
|
|
WMPPP will scan the users home directory to see if
|
|
there is a valid .wmppprc available.
|
|
|
|
When a valid ~/.wmppprc is found, and no 'force' keyword
|
|
is present in /etc/wmppprc, WMPPP will use the users
|
|
.wmppprc file instead.
|
|
|
|
If no wmppprc file is found in the users home directory,
|
|
WMPPP will use the global one (/etc/wmppprc).
|
|
|
|
If NO wmppprc files are found at all, WMPPP will work,
|
|
but quite obvious, WMPPP won't launch your scripts.
|
|
|
|
Make sure there are valid and FULL pathnames in wmppprc
|
|
if you want WMPPP to launch your pppd scripts ;-)

General Notes
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Note 1: If "make install" fails on your system, please edit
|
|
the Makefile to set the paths according to your setup.
|
|
Make install defaults to /usr/local/bin & /etc/ppp/.
|
|
You may also change these directories using the various
|
|
variables, e.g., make PREFIX=/usr.
|
|
|
|
Note 2: Please DO read the HINTS, this file contains some
|
|
very useful tips and hints about WMPPP.
