4.1. Backing up the original PPP configuration files

Before making any changes to the files which are used by PPP you should make a copy of the default files that were created when the FreeBSD system was installed.

Log in as the 'root' user and perform the following steps:

Change to the '/etc directory:

# cd /etc

Make a backup copy the original files in the 'ppp' directory:

# cp -R ppp ppp.ORIGINAL

You should now be able to see both a 'ppp' and a 'ppp.ORIGINAL' subdirectory in the '/etc' directory.
