I'm a little light on the technical end here so please be gentle.
I'm have been running diald-0.16.4-1 and diald-config-0.1-1 for a few
months and everything has been running like a charm. Oh yeah, Red Hat 5.0.
with sendmail 8.8.7 and I'm running ppp with a dynamic address.
Last night something happened but I don't know what. The symptom is that
when I send a mail message, it hangs for about a minute. I looked in
/var/log/maillog and it seems to be hanging on some gethostbyaddr. (I
swear, I never had this problem before.
May 29 09:38:53 localhost sendmail[20335]: gethostbyaddr(192.168.0.1)
failed: 1

[199.172.62.5], stat=Sent (Ok)
I went to /etc and said
find . -type f -print | xargs fgrep 192.168.0.1 and found that that
address is in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/diald:
if [ -n "${DIAL_FAIL_LIMIT}" ] ; then
echo "dial-fail-limit ${DIAL_FAIL_LIMIT}"
fi
if [ -n "${IPADDR}" ] ; then
echo "local $IPADDR"
else
echo "local 192.168.0.1" # SHOULD I CHANGE THIS?
fi
if [ -n "${REMIP}" ] ; then
echo "remote $REMIP"
else
echo "remote 192.168.0.2" # AND WHAT ABOUT THIS?
fi
if [ -z "${REMIP}" -o -z "${IPADDR}" ] ; then
echo "dynamic"
fi
Can someone PLEASE tell me how to proceed?
Many thanks in advance.
