Sorry if I am misunderstanding; for some stupid reason I haven't followed this discussion..... I am experiencing similar problems - my Dial On Demand triggers often when some program wants to contact localhost. Among those is leafnode; I am running a local news-spool (leafnode), and whenever I post a new news message, or even if I access a newsgroup, the ISDN connection is started. Another is ssh.... To me it seems like there is something wrong with the configuration of the "lo" interface - in fact it doesn't even appear in the "route" list. As far as I can remember this has been the default behaviour of "unstable" (and "testing") for years, and has been corrected by some miracle before the "stable" release. I may be wrong, of course..... -- Jan Arne Fagertun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Powel ASA, Norway Phone: +47 73804500 Fax: +47 73804501 Direct phone: +47 73804568 NTNU => NT, Not Unix... http://www.nvg.ntnu.no/ntnu/ - better use Linux ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
