Hi. I'm new to most of this LINUX stuff, so don't assume that any idea is too basic for me to have missed. It probably isn't. :P I'm having trouble getting my diald to close the connection automatically when I've stoped using it. I'm using diald and IP Masq for my LAN (if that makes any difference). diald doesn't initiate the connection untill I make my request, so that part is working fine. I'm using the stock "out of the box" diald.conf with my only change being to set the timeout to 5 min. down from 10 min. (at least I think I've done this right. I can send my diald.conf if you need to examin it to make sure I've not messed it up). When I do a tcpdump (tcpdump -i ppp0) with no supposed trafic from my LAN to ppp0 I get reports of these: ------------- 10:38:15.209478 ppp105.dayton.net > ts-4.dayton.net: icmp: ppp105.dayton.net udp port route unreachable [tos 0xc0] 10:38:45.179478 ts-4.dayton.net.route > ppp105.dayton.net.route: rip-resp 25: 199.218.243.0(1)[|rip] [ttl 1] 10:43:45.359478 ppp105.dayton.net.1070 > zen.dayton.net.domain: 43441+ (46) 10:43:45.739478 zen.dayton.net.domain > ppp105.dayton.net.1070: 43441* 1/2/2 (168) ------------- I'm not really sure what most of this means. The first number 10.x.x.x keeps changing, but I'm not sure if that's to be expected or not. I can tell that the ppp105.dayton.net is the dynamic IP assigned to me by my ISP and I'm assuming also that ts-4.dayton.net is the dial-in server and that zen.dayton.net.domain is a domain server. But I don't know what the rest of it means (or even if my guess' are right). I don't know where this traffic is occuring, what it's purpose is, or how to write and where in my diald.conf to put a rule to filter this stuff out (or even is I *should* filter it out). Any help would be appreciated. -- Peace favor your sword, Kirk Lawson mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dayton.net/~lawson - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-diald" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
