host-range = <min ip> <max ip>
The parameter host-range defines a network range. Hosts whose
IP addresses are within this range are granted access to smpppd. All
hosts not within this range are denied access.
password = <password> By assigning a password, limit the clients to au-
thorized hosts. As this is a plain-text password, you should not over-
rate the security it provides. If no password is assigned, all clients are
permitted to access smpppd.
More information about smpppd is available in man 8 smpppd and man 5
smpppd.conf.
25.1.3 Configuring kinternet and cinternet for Remote
Use
The programs kinternet and cinternet can be used locally as well as to
control a remote smpppd. cinternet is the command-line counterpart
of the graphical kinternet. To prepare these utilities for use with a remote
smpppd, edit the configuration file /etc/smpppd-c.conf manually or
using kinternet. This file only uses three options:
server = <server> Here, specify the host on which smpppd runs. If this
host is the same as the default gateway of the host, it is sufficient to
set the gateway-fallback to yes.
gateway-fallback = <yes|no> If no server was specified and there is no
local smpppd, this option, which is enabled by default, initiates a
search for an smpppd on the default gateway.
password = <password> Insert the password selected for smpppd.
If smpppd is active, you can now try to access it, for example, with
cinternet --verbose --interface-list. If you experience difficul-
ties at this point, refer to man 5 smpppd-c.conf and man 8 cinternet
