I am hoping this is pretty basic stuff to some of your pro's. I am really
new at this and any help would be greatly appreciated !!
I am trying to get diald up and running. All is well on my network and IP
masquerading is working fine.
I installed the RPM versions of diald including the config rpm. The RPMS
were diald-0.16.4-1.i386.rpm and diald-config-0.16.5a-1386.rpm.
I installed both of these onto my Linux (Mandrake 5.3 distribution)machine.
I am using the 2.2.7 kernel and I recompiled it. I did add PPP and SLIP
support.
My diald.config file is in the /etc directory and it reads:
fifo /etc/diald/diald.ctl
mode ppp
connect "sh /etc/ppp/connect"
device /dev/cua1
speed 115200
modem
lock
crtscts
local 10.0.0.20
remote 10.0.0.20
dynamic
redial-timeout 5
# kill-timeout 240
defaultroute
# proxyarp
# strict-forwarding
# mtu 1024
# mru 2048
# window 2048
pppd-options asyncmap 0
include /usr/lib/diald/standard.filter
My connect file is exactly as it came from the RPM excpet I added the phone
number, username and password.
If I understand correctly, you execute the diald command in the /usr/sbin
directory ?? I try to do this and I get a message that says /usr/sbin/diald:
No such file or directory. Even though I can see the file in that folder.
I really dont know where to begin diagnosing this. I did try a connect
"/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatfile" thinking maybe this would force the
modem, but had not luck. It returned a line showing my modem string and just
sat there.
As I mentioned above. ANY help would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
