Re: [Plug] Anyone using diald?
|
Hi,
I manage five mission critical Debian systems connected to the Net via
diald. It was a simple matter of editing /etc/diald/connect and
/etc/diald/diald.options (a sample is in /usr/doc/diald).
Hint: enable debugging in /etc/diald/connect and look at
/var/log/ppp.log.

I can't seem to run chat manually either, even when running as root. /dev/modem is correctly symlinked to the proper serial port, and pppd doesn't have any problem using it. I'm wondering if its some subtle user/group ID thing (pppd is setuid root), or some unreported lockfile-contention thing (although I tail -f /var/log/messages, and all I see is "diald[pid]: Running connect / diald[pid]: connect script failed"). When I run chat manually, I seem to get absolutely no response from the modem, as if it's not even opening the port (although I don't get an open failure). The man pages I've got are pretty clue-deficient with regards to debugging a non-working connection.
