Is there a debianized version of diald 0.14 out there? (ELF). With the
dctrl tk tool, too! (I can email it to the one making the package if
needed).
Also, do someone know how to ask sendmail really not to make DNS queries?
This is somewhat that starts up diald when one does not want, and it is
really annoying.
A last question for you diald gurus: I used diald and after having asked
it to close the connection (using its control fifo) I still can see
monitored packets associated with a time to close the link. Anybody knows
why? I don't use ftp, http or anything after having asked to close...
Yves.
