I have problems configuring diald - have spent the best part of a week before I embarass myself to you gurus! Can I be helped ? I have been testing that diald comes up using the kill -s SIGUSR1 pid. and now it does come up but goes down pretty much straight away. Also I cannot get diald to come up at all - the process is sitting there but it doesn't work for me. I feel as if I am close but out of ideas! Really need help - please! The log from sending diald a SIGUSR1 is as follows: Feb 28 14:00:01 linux diald[2826]: SIGUSR1. External link up request received.

The modules.conf has been edited to fix a serial problem in SuSE linux 2.2.13 where the module was installed after serial support is already in the kernel. The same diald problem existed before it was modified. I have a local named running with no root hints so as to resolve only local domain hosts. The /etc/resolv.conf has the local named and the name server at the ISP specified 203.97.33.1 and a backup DNS at 203.97.37.1 The ip-up script just runs sendmail -q which is set up with a smart relay host off site I have modified the standard.filter rules only to comment out the ignore tcp domain packet statements in an attempt to Below is the diald.conf file I have been trying to get to work #Dial on demand configuration file #/etc/diald.conf file # mode ppp accounting-log /usr/lib/diald/usage.log device /dev/ttyS3 speed 115200 modem lock crtscts local 192.168.0.1 remote 192.168.0.2 dynamic defaultroute pppd-options name "myusername" noipdefault ipcp-accept-local \ ipcp-accept-remote pap-timeout 4 pap-restart 4 noauth debug 15 connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/ppp.chat" ip-up /etc/ppp/checkmail #timeouts redial-backoff-start 4 redial-backoff-limit 300 dial-fail-limit 15 #activation rules see include file below #no accesses on Saturday and Sunday restrict * * 0,6 * * down #no access after 6pm restrict 18:00:00 * 1,2,3,4,5 * * down #no access before 7:50am restrict * 07:50:00 1,2,3,4,5 * * down #filter rules include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-diald" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
