NAME

smpppd - SuSE Meta PPP Daemon

DESCRIPTION

smpppd is a daemon that controls several internet connections.

Use a frontend like cinternet , qinternet or kinternet to control the connections and retrieve status informations. Those frontends can also run on different hosts.

The configuration of the dialup connections is done by YaST2 but there are some additional options available in the file /etc/smpppd.conf.

smpppd is not intended for direct use. Use rcsmpppd instead.
