place a .ppprc file in each user's home directory containing
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy # ip's of local and remote hosts
where:
xx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the server (the FreeBSD machine)
yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is the IP address of this user
For either of the above the user's (client) ppp MUST be set up to
negotiate a dynamic IP address. Implementation of this varies from
client to client, but usually it involves setting 0.0.0.0 in the
client's PPP setup.
