Hello,
I very recently upgraded my home system from bo to hamm. As soon
as I installed the netbase package, diald stopped working. The
PPP link would connect, but the PPP link no longer was selected
as the default route. However, I could establish the link using
the 'pon' command. (I was using a fairly old revision of PPP,
maybe ppp_2.2.0f-23.)
In the past few days, I have brought ppp, diald, and other network
packages up to the latest hamm revisions. In doing so, I changed my
PPP configuration files to conform to the new directory/filename
format, tried various option settings, and have pored through the PPP
and diald documentation. But diald continues not to work, although
I can get the PPP link up using pon.
Here is what I have observed:
(1) The first time I execute a command that accesses a network
resource, diald establishes the PPP link right away. However,
no data appears to cross the link after it comes up. If I issue
the 'route' command at this point, it hangs without displaying the
route table, as if it is suspended trying to access the nameserver.
(2) 20 seconds after the PPP link connects, I get the following
message in syslog:
Nov 3 05:48:21 leisure kernel: sl0: transmit timed out, bad line quality?
This message is repeated once or twice more, about every 20 seconds.
I have never seen this message before.
(3) Link timeout seems quite exaggerated compared to previous operation.
I get the following message 6 minutes after the link connects:
Nov 3 05:54:00 leisure diald[118]: Closing down idle link.
But then the link doesn't actually get torn down for another 3 minutes,
and even then, the lock file in /var/lock persists several more
minutes, so that I can't redial using diald or pon for quite some
time.
(4) In order to use pon to establish the link, I have to kill the
diald daemon and bring down the slip link (ifconfig sl0 down). If
I don't disable the slip link, I run into the same problem observed
in (1), although if I wait long enough, the route command finally
displays output, but not the proper routes. Then I can manually add
a default route to my gateway host and things work OK.
My /etc/ppp/options file contains:
asyncmap 0

# crtscts <--- these are commented out
