RedHat 5.0 with: kernel-2.0.32-3 ppp-2.3.3-2 diald-0.16.4-1 diald-config-0.1-1 Have ppp working. If I kill the diald process, ifup ppp0 successfully brings the link up, and ifdown ppp0 brings it down. If I restart diald and dctrl, then execute a command that I would expect to bring the link up, dctrl shows a CONNECT state, but does not indicate an interface or any ip numbers. A chat script runs and logs into my ISP successfully. The state goes to START_LINK. After a few seconds something times out. The states change rapidly and it retries. This time dctrl shows interface sl0 and the appropriate ip numbers. It must have found them in ifcfg-ppp0, either that or I'm really confused. When it times out this time it goes through the states a bit slower: DISCONNECT, CLOSE, RETRY, DOWN, CONNECT (chat script logs in again), START_LINK (time out), .... /etc/syslog.conf has been set to log all the daemon messages in /var/log/daemon. when ifup ppp0 brings the link up I can see the ppp negotiation in /var/log/daemon. but not when diald tries to bring the link up. Any ideas?
