NAME
       startppp - Starts the pppd daemon for PPP dial-in connections

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/startppp

DESCRIPTION
       A  system  configured  for  PPP	dial-in connections answers calls from
       remote systems.	If your system is configured as a PPP dial-in  system,
       a  getty	 process  is  continuously run on the serial line that is con‐
       nected to a modem.  When a call comes in, getty	prompts	 for  a	 login
       name.   If  the	login  name  matches  a	 PPP  user  name  entry in the
       /etc/passwd file, getty starts startppp as a login shell.  The startppp
       program then invokes the /usr/sbin/pppd command with no arguments.

       See  Network  Administration: Connections for information on setting up
       your system as a PPP dial-in system.

RESTRICTIONS
       Only a person with superuser authority can run the startppp program.

FILES
       Specifies the command path File containing options required to  support
       dial-in access for all remote users.  Contains the startppp process ID
