Thanks for replying--I feel like there's light at the end of the tunnel now.
This has been really panicking me since the system its on belongs to family.
And I have another family member who has Cupsd and who should also be on
Diald now, but isn't--until i know how they can co-exist on a 2.4pre kernel
with iptables (yikes) . I can't get at the system in question again to try
this for a few days.

Yeah they're obnoxious, sorry...Apparently they are an artifact of X-pasteing
lines with tabs in them in the email client of NS6-pre or Mozilla-M15. I
don't see them while I'm writing the message, only in the email coming back
to me from the mailinglist.

God i hope so. I tried to reconfigure cupsd to listen only locally
127.0.0.1/631--which made no difference. Mostly i have desperately been
trying to get Diald to ignore the packets--and i still don't know why it
doesn't. But then again, if it did ignore the packets, I wouldn't really
understand why it was doing that either... Bob Chiodini suggested that maybe
I left "accept any 300 any" in diald.conf, or that maybe that I defined the
filter afterwards in the .conf file. Being really on the ball i forgot to
email myself a reference copy of the diald.conf and filter so I can't confirm
anything for about a week. Given the haste with which i initially set
everything up (months ago) those can't be ruled out...

Could be that the .defs come from an outdated .rpm for diald-config. I
thought I compiled everything fresh. Probably I had leftovers from an rpm
based install from way back, and didn't copy the .defs from /usr/lib/diald
over to /etc/diald/diald.defs.

I can't thank you guys enough for the help. I'll know more next weekend
hopefully.
