Huh? diald is for dial*out*s. Don't need it for this. My advice is to kill it off or deinstall it entirely, until you get the dialins working properly. If you do want to use it after the dialins work, be sure to use the proper "lock" options for both diald and mgetty, so they won't try to use the serial port at the same time.
