Hello Again,
Well still working on the xringd program but started watching the
syslog file and found something I had not seen before.
I was working with diald yesterday and finally got it working just
fine. But I was debugging it with /var/log/ppp.log so really didn't see the
/var/log/syslog. Then today while working with the xringd I see this:
Sep 24 16:49:02 debian modprobe: can't locate module pf-4
Sep 24 16:49:02 debian modprobe: can't locate module pf-3
Sep 24 16:49:02 debian modprobe: can't locate module pf-5
So I killed xringd and continued to see those messages when diald is
running. What exactly does it mean and what can I do to correct it. I have
looked in /lib/modules/2.0.35 and cannot find anything to do with pf-4, 3,
or 5. I am at a loss. Now when diald is not running, it does not get entered
in the syslog.
Does this have something to do with the serial port being
passed to the ppp0 port? I just want to make sure I am not missing
something.
But as far as I can tell diald is working fine. I dials out and
sends messages, goes to webpages, etc just like it is suppose to and then
drops carrier after 30 second, just like it is set up in the config file.
And while I was at it I found something else interesting. What does
this mean?:
Sep 24 05:25:34 debian inetd[959]: getpwnam: nobody: No such user
Is someone probing my system looking for something? Just wondering.
Again thanks for all the responses I got with the xringd question. Maybe one
of these days I will be able to answer questions instead of asking them.
