Hi,
I'm using a stock redhat 6.1 installation. My
problem with diald occurs in that diald starts up and accepts the prompt to
bring up the link automatically. However, if the sl0 interface is up, pppd fails
with the following error.
==> /var/log/diald.log <==
Sun Apr 2 19:45:42 2000 PKT: Calling site 192.168.0.2. ==> /var/log/messages <==
Apr 2 19:45:43 baggins diald[970]: Connected to site 192.168.0.2 Apr 2 19:45:43 baggins diald[970]: Running pppd (pid = 1088). Apr 2 19:45:43 baggins pppd[1088]: The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I Apr 2 19:45:43 baggins pppd[1088]: couldn't find any secret (password) which would let it use an IP address. Apr 2 19:45:43 baggins diald[970]: start sl0: SIOCSIFMETRIC: Operation not supported Apr 2 19:45:43 baggins diald[970]: start sl0: SIOCADDRT: File exists Apr 2 19:45:43 baggins diald[970]: start sl0: SIOCADDRT: File exists Apr 2 19:45:43 baggins diald[970]: start sl0: SIOCSIFMETRIC: Operation not supported With diald shutoff and the sl0 interface removed,
ifup ppp2 works just fine, no problems.
My ifup-ppp, ifcfg-ppp, and chat-ppp are stock
created from netconf (RH 6.1).
Btw, are the sl0 SIOC*** errors any
indication?
Here is what my /etc/diald.conf file
has:
debug
mode ppp device /dev/ttyS2 accounting-log /var/log/diald.log pppd-options name manzur fifo /etc/diald/diald.ctl connect /usr/sbin/chat -v -f /network-scripts/chat-ppp2 speed 115200 lock modem crtscts local 192.168.0.1 remote 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.252 mtu 576 mru 576 window 2048 redial-backoff-start 4 redial-backoff-limit 300 dial-fail-limit 15 dynamic defaultroute include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter + the standard tcp/udp linksets
I've tried all sorts of combinations, and I've
narrowed it down to pppd not wanting to work if the sl0 interface is up, as soon
as you bring it down pppd negotiates via pap just fine. Just wanted to know if
anybody else has faced a similar situation, or can point out what idiotic
mistake I'm making. If you require any information, please do not hesitate to
contact me.Thanks for the support. Take care.
