Did you remember to tell diald to re-read its configuration files?
The only time diald looks at any of those files is when it starts, and if
you send a command to the diald FIFO; I don't remember the exact command,
though.  In your case, the FIFO is /etc/diald.ctl.  Run man diald-control to
find the exact command to tell diald to reread its configuration files.  For
the sake of example, let's say the command is reinitialize.  You would run
echo "reinitialize" > /etc/diald.ctl at a command prompt to have diald
reread its files.  If you have X on your system, you can also run a program
called dctrl; it provides a graphical interface for controlling diald, and
one of the windows shows the timeout values for various packets.  After
loading, use the menu option to connect to a file, /etc/diald.ctl;
otherwise, it'll just sit there doing nothing.  I sat there for an hour one
day trying to figure out why my new values weren't taking before I realized
that diald caches those values.

        Subject:        diald doesnt keep up the link !!

        Hi

        We use diald 0.16 with an ISDN card.
        We would like to start the link if a client request www, pop-3,
smtp, or ftp

        Diald catch correctly the first request. But after 1min the link is
closed
        by diald ! but we configured 4min timeout or 2 min timeout (depends
www or
        ftp or pop)

        We used accept and keepup filter command.

        We join our conf files to this messages. Does someone use diald for
        something like that ? (this kind of rules, linux internet server
under 2.2.x
        with windows clients, an isdn card)
