Hi Lourdes,
thanks for the tips and hints.
At first I was really appalled by my bad reading of the documentation,
but then I realized that I obviously picked up and installed a wrongly
packed rpm for diald-0.99.4 - it is *completely* lacking the new docu-
mentation. The man-pages are still the same as in my old 0.99.1, there
is no auth.pam, no README.pam, no nothing. I did a rpm -qpl, it's sim-
ply not in the package! So again, sorry for posting a question that is
answered in the docu, but at that time i really believed I had done
my best in looking at what documentation was available.
When I get back to my home machine, I will try got find out the packa-
ger from the rpm -qi, and notify him/her of the problem. Off the top
of my head, I can not remember exactly *where* I got that rpm.

That's what I'm doing now, too. Yesterday, I installed dialmon and
kdialm, and it works like a charm, does the user based authentica-
tion thing I was looking for, and integrates more nicely with my
KDE desktop (docking!).
Thanks a bunch,
-Chris
P.S.
Did anybody else experience problems with the dialmon-0.8-1.src.rpm
from http://www.quaking.demon.co.uk/dialmon.html ? rpm -bb didn't
work, because it doesn't find the qt and kde include files, but
a configure; make; make install in the BUILD directory went smooth-
ly.
