Thats diald starting. Once it dials up the first time (on boot) it will disconnect and then should behave its self. Diald is a dial daemon so it lays in the background listinging for dialup commands such as ftp - telnet - ping - fetchmail etc... Its very handy when it working in the correct envioriment and is usefull for cron jobs you can create to dl mail news. the correct way to start stop diald is /sbin/init.d/diald stop /sbin/init.d/diald start if it buggs out on ya then do a ps x get the pid then .... kill -9 pid usually pid 111 but if you do that, be warned that diald will leave behind a stale pid in /var/run you'll need to remove this if you want diald to run again it can be disabled in rc.config pico /etc/rc.config ctrl w look for diald and remove yes have a good time rob Linux Home page <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A</A>> alex@daniloff.com wrote:

Hello SuSE folks!

Could somebody please explain me why my SuSE 6.0 Linux box tries to dial up Internet connection by itself even if I don't execute kppp, minicom or others communication programs. It is happening after rebooting even before I get loged in and continuing when I'm working in KDE.

What should I change in the setting and where ?

Any help will be gladly appreciated

Thanks

Alex
