ADDPPPIN(1M)							  ADDPPPIN(1M)

NAME
     addpppin - add a PPP incoming entry.

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/privbin/addppppin -n loginName/sysName -t connType [ -p ] [
     -a authType ] [ -y appType ] [ -l localIPAddr ] [ -r remoteIPAddr ] [ -h
     remoteHostName ] [ -fu ]

DESCRIPTION
     Addpppin adds a PPP incoming entry to the system to enable the named
     account or system to have the right to call into this host using the PPP
     protocol. Please refer to PPP(1M) for a detail description of the input
     parameters.

     It is important to note that if you do not set up an incoming connection,
     a remote workstation may be able to connect to your workstation using an
     existing user account, such as "guest".  This can be an important
     security issue.

OPTIONS
     -n loginName/sysName
	       LoginName or sysName is the unique name given to identify the
	       incoming entry.

     -t connType
	       The type of equipement at the physical layer. It supports
	       "MODEM" and "ISDN" and is case insensitive.

     -p	       Addpppin will request the user to enter a password on stdin
	       that the calling account or system must use to login.

     -a authType
	       It supports "PAP", "CHAP", "NOPAP", and "NOCHAP" and they are
	       case insensitive.

     -y appType
	       The type of applications. When not specified or specified as 0,
	       it means simple applications and no special parameters are
	       added. When it is equal to 1, it means Audio/Video application
	       and special parameters are added to customize by this command.

     -l localIPAddr
	       IP address of the local host in dotted notation. It is only
	       needed if the IP address is different from the IP address of
	       the local machine.

     -r remoteIPAddr
	       The IP address of the remote host in dotted notation. If it is
	       not specified, the remote host address is obtained through
	       negotiation during handshaking.
