When diald was initially installed and configured it worked the few times I tested it. After I began to move beyond the stock install scripts it broke and I can't find what I did to break it. My scripts to start and stop PPP work and continue to work. Diald will dial out, connect, and start pppd, however the protocol never shows up under IFCONFIG and pppd quits after about 10 seconds. The log message is Jul 28 21:57:00 Linux4 diald[681]: Running pppd (pid = 749). Jul 28 21:57:32 Linux4 diald[681]: child process 749 terminated with signal 1 Often I get a log message from [kernel] stating that the "kernel registered device ppp0". When I start pppd by hand (through some simple scripts) I get a series of log messages including CONNECT ppp0 <==> /dev/modem. I never get messages from [kernel], including the "kernel registered..." message. I am not using pap or chap (yet). I am using using RedHat 5.1 and diald 0.16. I have tried removing then reinstalling the diald and pppd RPMs with no success. Although xWindows is installed on the machine I am not using it. I ultimately want to use pppd/diald on a machine without xWindows, so I need to learn how to set up diald and pppd through the consoles alone. I would also prefer not to upgrade diald to fix the problem unless there is no other way out. Diald worked previously as-is and not upgrading would allow me to stay with one consistent set of CDROMs for the whole system. Any direction regarding what I may have broken would be much appreciated. I have spend several hours looking through the pppd and diald config files and believe that they are ok.
