    perry m. - 2001-11-12

    using     Redhat 7.1
        Kernel 2.4.5
        diald 1.0

    diald never dials the modem automatically after bootup.

    I end up killing diald, dialing the motorola isdn modem using wvdial manually.
    I then activate ip masquerading manually from the command line using /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
    so I may use the internet.

    Is there anything obvious in the files below that would prevent diald to dial out?

      Is 'wvdial' not smart enough to background itself once the interface is up?  What happens if you take out the '&'?  If you still have problems, post an excerpt from /var/log/messages that shows diald trying to bring the interface up.  (For example, when the interface is down, start tailing /var/log/messages.  Then do (say) "ping sourceforge.net" on another terminal window or virtual console.)

      I have same issue. Similar config:  diald 1.0, redhat 7.1 kernel 2.2. 
      Have found error in hotplug net.agent script.  No exit after ifup call to sl0 give bogus message about register event not handled..... Change script and add exit after call to ifup.
      Should diald create a LISTEN on the port specificed for the www services in /etc/services?? I never see that on a netstat.  I may be way off base here......
