I have a similar setup - samba,diald,masq, plus remote mgetty dialup -
for 5 local Win95 boxes plus 4 dialup laptops. I have had no problem
with
unwanted diald connections because of Samba - I believe because I have
every host
on the lan named in /etc/hosts plus in /windows/hosts on each
workstaion/laptop.
This can be hard to manage on a larger network.
I have had problems with mail/sendmail causing diald to connect when
mail is run from a shell - as well as connects everytime a remote user
dialed-up. (dial-up access runs on the same machine - just a different
modem).
I installed a caching only DNS and all issues seem to be resolved.
A properly configured /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/host/conf,
plus a caching only DNS seems to work for me.
