I hope some of you might be able to help me. I'm trying to set up diald 0.99. I've compiled it from source and tried to set it up following the docs and the Diald FAQ, but so far I've not been able to succeed.
I get to the stage where diald will dial up using my scripts, but it will either disconnect the line once the link is established, or it will never take over from where the pppd scripts finished. I have tried using RedHat's "ifup ppp0" scripts which is configured in Linuxconf, or by using "pppd call isp" where the appropriate scripts are located in /etc/ppp/ and /etc/ppp/peers.
If is use a script set up to call "ifup ppp0" the following log will be generated.

<----->
If I use a script which calls "pppd call isp" diald will initiate the call and the link will be established, but nothing more happens after the pppd session is connected. Diald does not continue after the sessions is connected, and therefor it won't set up the default route as it should.
I hope someone has a working setup of a simple dial-on-demand script for RedHat 6.x which they would be willing to share. I am also interested in a script that should go in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ to start and stop the diald service in a normal manner.
