I am having problems setting up dial-on-demand using diald on my
S.u.S.E. 5.2 (kernel 2.0.35) system. I added these lines to the top
of the stock diald.conf that comes with the diald distribution, and I
set up my PPP scripts using the PPP HOWTO in Linux: The Complete
Reference. (Due to my not thinking this email through very well,
those ppp scripts appear after the segment from /var/log/messages
below.) The specific problem I am having is shown below in the snippet
of /var/log/messages I have included below. I can not get any traffic
going over the PPP link, although I can get the link established.
diald keeps giving me the same message: "Connect script timed out.
Killing script." I have played with the TIMEOUT setting in the dialer
script an have set it up to 40 seconds, but it still times out. So, I
wonder if I am adjusting the right script. BTW, PPP works fine when I
connect using the scripts supplied with S.u.S.E. Linux, in fact I
am using that now. I also tried using the S.u.S.E. scripts as my
diald scripts, but still got the connect script timeouts. Can someone
here help me?
As mentioned above, I added these settings to the top of the stock
diald.conf file, and that file is at /etc/diald.conf.

Here is my dialdppp-up script:

This is my dialdppp-up-script:

Please let me know if I need to send anything else. BTW, I have also
read man (8) diald, and that is why a number of settings normally
found in a ppp options file are in the diald.conf and there is no
reference in this setup to a ppp options file.
TIA,
Sean.
