Ok I send a mesage this am that apparently diddnt make it to the list
the question is can someone post their *working* /etc/diald.config & /etc/suseppp/diald/generic.diald
*current error status*
1) diald wont start from boot. It says yes in rc.config and the system boots up on run level 2 I have to start diald manually ie:diald
Never! USe the /sbin/init.d/rcx.d/S20diald scirpt (or the relative to link)
2) when I request a service such as telnet <my provider in /etc/hosts> it triggers diald and sucessfully dials up gives me a local IP and remote IP then states "ppp not replacing existing default route to $" "connect script timed out. KIlling script"
Im not so sure but... have you checked for permission missunderstood ?
notice the error is *after* the ip address are issued ! Ive tried tweeking both /etc/diald.conf and /etc/suseppp/diald/generic.diald while diald was dialing up every 30 seconds no change
This kind of problem don't seem to affect diald but the routing table which is statically write to /etc/route.conf, you should check for some enviroment variables cause the latest "$" seem to point anywhere, and of course... permissions :) ---------------------------------- Date: 23-Jan-99 Time: 15:21:44 "In order to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe." -- Carl Sagan, Cosmos ---------------------------------- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
