OK, my diald install on RH 6.0 intranet server installed fine, except that
it kept insisting on dialing out without being "demanded". Debugging showed
me all kinds of TCP/IP filter rules being matched. One was curious, another
Win 98 machine that was once configured for DHCP address allocation kept
looking for the DNS server, even though that was supposedly disabled via
the networking control panel. I found the culprit: a DHCP registry key in
Hkey local machine that stored the old DHCP IP address in hex format and
deleted it. That took care of that!
But not the problem! 5 minutes after my Linux server starts, diald dials
out. Filter rules matched show me that it is looking to connect up with the
various DNS root servers, and even after a connection is down, it won't
hang up. When it is forced down, it immediately tries to dial out again.
I've tried this, as per suggestion:
Filters file:
ignore tcp tcp.dest=tcp.domain
ignore tcp tcp.source=tcp.domain
named.config file:
query-source address * port 53;
No...I'm not using sendmail. But I am tired of running upstairs to me
server room and turning the modem on and off manually!! HELP!!
