Dear folks, I had diald16 working okay with RH 5.2. But for RH6 and 0.99.1, I would get many duplicate routes in my routing table, and the tap0 routes would not go away. The link would go down while ftping any large file. Setup: RH 6.0 with all updates applied 1130 $ rpm -qa | grep diald diald16-config-0.16.5a-2 diald-config-1.2.1-1 diald-config-metered-0.2-2 diald-0.99.1-2 Now in an effort to get it working with RH 6.0, I have built an RPM for iproute2-2.2.4-990630nu.i386.rpm (and for good measure ftp://contrib.redhat.com/contrib/libc6/SRPMS/iputils-2.2.0-990610nu.src.rpm ). Looks promising. But no default route for ppp0. So I edited /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/diald-up and added the line echo "debug 0x005D" which turned on debugging, listing all the /sbin/ip and /sbin/ifconfig commands, and the resulting error messages. I discovered that omitting metric 0 from the ifconfig commands get rid of the SIOCSIFMETRIC: Operation not supported error messages. I am still having problems understanding the ip command, even after reading the documentation that comes with it: ip-cxref. So: 1. Has anyone got this to actually work? 2. Do you have any suggestions on getting this to work properly? 3. I'm willing to try any ideas: this list does not seem to offer much that helps me to get started. Thank you for any ideas, any suggestions, any success stories. Is diald-0.99.x to immature to try using? Then how use diald16 with all those duplicate routes? -- Nick Urbanik, Dept. of Electrical & Communications Engineering Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Tsing Yi) email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: (852) 2436 8660, (825) 2436 8674 Fax: (852) 2436 8643 pgp ID: 7529555D fingerprint: 53 B6 6D 73 52 EE 1F EE EC F8 21 98 45 1C 23 7B - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-diald" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
