Hi all,
I am admittedly new to diald and I am having quite a time getting things to
run smoothly....

I have been able to connect successfully manually with the command

pppd /dev/ttyS0 115200 modem crtscts lock defaultroute connect "chat -f
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0"

This connects and I can ping and browse web pages fine.  The connection is a
dynamic PPP address. Now I am trying to transfer this to diald to get dial
on demand.  So I installed diald.

I have a diald.conf file with the following
###########
connect "chat -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0"
speed 115200
modem
crtscts
defaultroute
local 192.168.0.1
remote 192.168.0.2
dynamic
include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter


Now when I try this, the modem dials and connects and then hangs up pretty
quickly.

In the /var/log/messages log I get the messages as follows:

modprobe:  can't find module char-major-108
pppd:  The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I
pppd:  could not find a suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so.

So the connection does not work.  And even more frustrating is when I use
the manual connect pppd line I used before installing DIALD and I now get
this authentication error!!  (The last two lines of the error message
above.)

HELP.  I have plowed through all sorts of MAN pages trying to figure what
the heck is going on.  As I am new to this mailing list I hope that I have
provided enough information to possibly garner some suggestions.  If not, I
am HAPPY to provide any required information as best I can.  Thank you in
advance.

PS:   I am running Redhat 6.1 if that helps at all.
