Disable PPP in startup

[Bill Sadvary]

What's the best way to disable PPP from starting on a HP-UX 11.23 machine?

Rename /sbin/rc2.d/S522ppp to something like hold.S522ppp ?

Or, set NTUN=0 in /etc/ppp/tunconf ?

I'm not seeing any config file options where I can simply flip a 1 to a 0, to stop it from starting like a lot of scripts do.

It's not listed in /etc/services but I am seeing it set up some devices in rc.log...

Thanks,

mv /sbin/rc2.d/S522ppp /sbin/rc2.d/s522ppp

Now it won't start, but is easier to put back together should you change course.

Thanks, Steven.

I'll just stick to my hold.XXX naming convention. I just wanted to be sure that I wasn't missing something in a config file somewhere that would disable the ppp startup.
