NAME

smpppd.conf - global smpppd configuration file

DESCRIPTION

When smpppd and smpppd-ifcfg start they first load their configuration from /etc/smpppd.conf, which contains basic information concerning their behavior.

The configuration file /etc/smpppd.conf has a simple file format with a key = value pair in each line.
