I have a three-machine ethernet network here.  When diald is not running,
it works fine.  The machines can ping each other, and I can telnet between
them.  When diald is running, my network shuts down.  I can ping myself,
but pinging the other machines times out.  I set up three xterms on the
screen -- one monitoring sl0, one monitoring eth0 and one to enter
commmands -- then I tried to ping one of my other machines.  This is what
I get:

14:43:14.889051 dragoon.nuthole.de > hussar.nuthole.de: icmp: echo request
(ttl 64, id 22598)
14:43:15.899051 dragoon.nuthole.de > hussar.nuthole.de: icmp: echo request
(ttl 64, id 22599)
14:43:16.899051 dragoon.nuthole.de > hussar.nuthole.de: icmp: echo request

14:43:18.899051 dragoon.nuthole.de > hussar.nuthole.de: icmp: echo request

14:43:19.899051 dragoon.nuthole.de > hussar.nuthole.de: icmp: echo request

14:43:20.899051 dragoon.nuthole.de > hussar.nuthole.de: icmp: echo request

14:43:21.899051 dragoon.nuthole.de > hussar.nuthole.de: icmp: echo request

14:43:22.899051 dragoon.nuthole.de > hussar.nuthole.de: icmp: echo request
(ttl 64, id 22606)
14:43:23.899051 dragoon.nuthole.de > hussar.nuthole.de: icmp: echo request
(ttl 64, id 22607)

ping times out and I get:

dragoon:/root # ping -c10 hussar
PING hussar.nuthole.de (192.168.0.1): 56 data bytes

--- hussar.nuthole.de ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss


Obviously there is something I still need to set up in my diald.conf, but
I don't know what it is.  Am I on the right trail suspecting that I need
to put in an "addroute" line?  If that is the case, what should the script
look like?  Would it be a shell script with a 'route' command for each of
the machines, something like this:

route add -host 192.168.0.1 dev eth0

with one line for each of the two other machines?

Here is my /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.0.1     hussar.nuthole.de       hussar
192.168.0.2     graves.nuthole.de       graves
192.168.0.3     dragoon.nuthole.de      dragoon

Here is the result of 'netstat -rn'with diald running:
