Topic: Server stops dialing out

[Trevor]

Hey Guys,

It seems that after about 2 days, the E-Smith software will not make an attempt to connect to the Internet via dialup.  I am running 4.0b

We have to reboot the box in order to establish a connection.

Anybody have any ideas?


Thanks,

Trevor Ouellette

No ideas, but I have some suggestions to try to track down the problem. Log in to the server as root, using the admin password, and scan through the file /var/log/messages for any clues. Instead of rebooting the box, try this sequence of commands:

killall -QUIT diald
/etc/rc.d/init.d/diald start

Let us know how you get on.
