I reported earlier that adding the "hostname" to the /etc/hosts file entry would stop the repeated dialdings. I found out to my chagrin, that the problem was not solved. I reread the diald.faq file and tried this solution:
1) shutdown diald 2) edit /etc/diald/diald.options and make the local IP a non-routable like 10.0.0.2 3) edit /etc/hosts and add that bogus non-routable address like: 10.0.0.2 <hostname> <<< use your local hostname here 4) reboot the system (for some odd reason, if you fail to reboot, diald will use the _old_ parameters instead of the newly edited files) Maybe a guru can tell me how to flush all the buffers so that I don't have to reboot the system. -- -= Sent by Debian 1.3 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@westgac3.dragon.com Remove @_@ for correct Email address --... ...-- ... -.. . -.- -.. ....- -.-. .. -.-
