Dear All, I am trying to implement an Internet gateway for our LAN using Linux (Red Hat 5.0). At the moment I'm trying to get Diald working so that our modem connection to our ISP can be initiated on demand. I have download diald 0.16 and applied the patches for 0.16.5 and got it to compile OK. I noticed however that although the program starts it wasn't connecting to PPP connection. I ran it with the '-daemon' command line option and got some error messages at the points in the program where it attempts to 'fork'. <147>Aug 20 09:01:44 diald[20539]: failed to fork and run '/sbin/ifconfig sl0 19 2.168.0.1 pointopoint 192.168.0.2 mtu 1500 up' : Illegal seek <147>Aug 20 09:01:44 diald[20539]: System call failure on command '/sbin/ifconfi g sl0 192.168.0.1 pointopoint 192.168.0.2 mtu 1500 up' <147>Aug 20 09:01:44 diald[20539]: failed to fork and run '/sbin/route add 192.1 68.0.2 metric 1 dev sl0' : Illegal seek <147>Aug 20 09:01:45 diald[20539]: System call failure on command '/sbin/route a dd 192.168.0.2 metric 1 dev sl0' <147>Aug 20 09:01:45 diald[20539]: failed to fork and run '/sbin/route add defau lt metric 1 dev sl0' : Illegal seek <147>Aug 20 09:01:45 diald[20539]: System call failure on command '/sbin/route a dd default metric 1 dev sl0' Does anybody have any clues as to what's going wrong here? Any possible remedies? Marcus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-diald" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
