I am try to set up diald 0.99 under Mandrake 6.1, to trigger on news
server requests.
Once diald has brought the link up, either from normal traffic or
forcing the link up with dctrl, it will maintain the link with news
traffic, but will not trigger.  I have read all the man pages for diald
and have not found any reference to nntp data.  Is there a reason for
nntp to not be part of the rule set in standard.filter?  Or am I looking
for the wrong type of data?

nntp is listed in /etc/services as:
nntp    119/tcp         readnews untp

I have tried adding these to standard.filter:
accept udp 30 udp.dest=udp.nntp
accept udp 30 udp.source=udp.nntp

also I tried these, with and without the above two, to no avail.
accept tcp 30 tcp.dest=tcp.nntp
accept tcp 30 tcp.source=tcp.nntp

Has anyone gotten news server requests to trigger diald, if so can you
let me know how you got this to work?
Any help is appreciated.
