Hi all,
I've run into an odd problem, and I hope that someone will have a
solution for it.
I'm running diald ver# 0.99.4 with redhat 6.1.
When I compile diald, I get several warnings, but no errors.
When I install diald, I get no errors.
At this point, if I run diald, I am able to dial out, even though there is
a minor problem which I will get into later.
If I reboot my server, using shutdown, it reboots with no errors. At this
point, diald is no longer running, as I have not yet put it into any of my
init scripts.
When I then attempt to run diald from the command line, it segmentation
faults.
If I re-compile and re-install diald, then it runs as above. Any help on
this would be greatly appreciated.
Second item, is that when I successfully run diald, after it gets back to
the command prompt, it still takes possibly a minute, before I can attempt
to bring up the link through diald. This is not a serious issue, but I am
curious about it.
I'm running a server (RH6.1) on a 486dx66 with a p100 and a celeron466 as
clients. For some time now, I have been using a script to bring the link
up/down, and am only now attempting to use diald to automate this process.
I mention this to note that the clients and the server can all use the
internet before I started using diald. I am using the following files/scripts:
/etc/diald/connect
#!/bin/sh
# Copyright (c) 1996, Eric Schenk.
#
# This script is intended to give an example of a connection script that
# uses the "message" facility of diald to communicate progress through
# the dialing process to a diald monitoring program such as dctrl or
diald-top.
# It also reports progress to the system logs. This can be useful if you
# are seeing failed attempts to connect and you want to know when and why
# they are failing.
#
# This script requires the use of chat-1.9 or greater for full
# functionality. It should work with older versions of chat,
# but it will not be able to report the reason for a connection failure.
# Configuration parameters
# The initialization string for your modem
MODEM_INIT="ATZ&C1&D2%C0"

# is asking for your user name.
