more diald madness
I reported earlier that adding the "hostname" to the /etc/hosts file entry
would stop the repeated dialdings. I found out to my chagrin, that the
problem was not solved. I reread the diald.faq file and tried this solution:
1) shutdown diald
2) edit /etc/diald/diald.options and make the local IP a non-routable like
10.0.0.2
3) edit /etc/hosts and add that bogus non-routable address like:
10.0.0.2 <hostname> <<< use your local hostname here
4) reboot the system (for some odd reason, if you fail to reboot, diald will
use the _old_ parameters instead of the newly edited files) Maybe a guru can
tell me how to flush all the buffers so that I don't have to reboot the
system.
