PPP_PROXY(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual		  PPP_PROXY(8)

NAME
     ppp_proxy - do login sequence for ppp

SYNOPSIS
     ppp_proxy [-s ppp.sys-file] [-x] sysname

DESCRIPTION
     The ppp_proxy utility is called by the ppp(8) command to proxy a request
     to gettyd(8) utility.  The -x flag implies the login sequence should be
     reported on standard output (reserved to the super user).	If ppp.sys-
     file is specified by the -s flag then it is used instead of /etc/ppp.sys.
     The sysname argument defines the entry in the ppp.sys file to search for.
     The ppp_proxy utility reads a request destined for gettyd(8) from stan-
     dard input and forwards it to gettyd(8).  When gettyd(8) returns the file
     descriptor of the connected device, ppp_proxy applies the login rules de-
     fined in the ppp.sys file (see ppp.sys(5)).  If the rules fail, the con-
     nection to gettyd(8) is dropped and failure is returned to ppp(8).	 If
     the rules succeed, the file descriptors to both gettyd(8) and the con-
     nected device are passed back to ppp(8) and ppp_proxy exits with a zero
     status.

FILES
