The trick is:
/etc/sysconfigtab:
#
# PPP interfaces
#
ppp:
nppp = 2
I did not have a chance to test this, but after reboot, I get:
# ifconfig -a
ppp0: flags=10<POINTOPOINT>
ppp1: flags=10<POINTOPOINT>
so I'm probably fine. If you do a
% /sbin/sysconfig -Q ppp
you get:
ppp:
nppp - type=INT op=CQ min_val=1 max_val=1024
lock_debug - type=INT op=CRQ min_val=0 max_val=1
so it *might* support more than 2 interfaces (as opposed to the ppp package
that I used under 3.X). You can to change the nppp parameter on a hot
system:
# sysconfig -r ppp nppp=2
nppp: attribute does not allow this operation
