I don't know whether this helps, but when I installed the diald rpm,
diald would dial a few times, then lock up. I experienced similar
problems to you like not being able to log in or even reboot. When I
looked, I noticed that diald had added a line to /etc/syslog.conf:
local2.* |/etc/diald/chat.fifo
Basically, this pipes all of diald's syslog output back into it's
command pipe!
Changing this to:
local2.*
/var/log/local2
solved the problems I was having.
Hope this helps,
Iain
