Description

The PPP module for Webmin provides the ability to control PPP dial-out accounts (as opposed to the Webmin PAP module which controls dial-in accounts).

The PPP module specifically provides the means to:

• edit PPP peer files
• create peer files
• delete peer files
• invoke a dialup connection to a known peer
• disconnect an existing dialup connection
• set global PPP options (via /etc/ppp/options)
• set per-interface options (via /etc/ppp/options.ttyXX and similar files)

This module is complementary to the PAP module - you will need the PAP module to edit the pap and chap secrets files. The PPP module controls configuration and connection, not authentication.

Peer and options files are edited through a web form which provides syntax and range checking, and can perform simple validity checking too (eg: ensuring mutually exclusive options aren't selected).
