Im running the latest diald with ppp 2.3.5 ( took ages to get
working)
Its all seems fine, - but -
Diald seems to want to dial every 15 mins, it seems that the cause is
a inter named (port 53 - port 53) request.
I need to find what program is causing this so that I can kill it.
I have to allow this rule as it seems to be the only way to get the
link up when one of the masqueraded users wants to use the internet,
(named is using option forward-only so that any non-local domain
lookup is refered to an external name server)
Is there another way of doing this?
Perhaps its sendmail ? I don't know how to find out, does anyone know
of a means to 'catch' the source of the packet?
Sendmail is running in defer mode with the -DNSRCH option so it
shouldn't be that.
What happens when sendmail tries a transmit when the queue is polled
, then fails because the remote end is not alive, does it keep
retrying even when the queue is not being polled?
Wierd thing is it didn't do this on an older version of diald and
pppd.
