Description

The PPP Daemon is the userland part of the Point-to-Point Protocol. It works in combination with a dedicated kernel network interface usually named ppp. PPP is a very extensible protocol and pppd supports a large number of options, including compression (through various algorithms), cryptography (Microsoft's MPPE) and authentication (PAP, CHAP, Microsoft CHAP), provided the kernel has the relevant back-ends in some cases.

Install

Binary package:

pkgin install pppd

From pkgsrc:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/net/pppd && make install clean

*: add LDFLAGS overide that was previously in mk

This is a workaround and should be fixed properly per-package - they should use the pkgsrc LDFLAGS, but this restores what happened before the mk/ cleanup. Fixes relro build for packages that do not honor LDFLAGS. Package list provided by mef@, thanks! Workaround commit requested by bsiegert on tech-pkg.
