[ale] Dial-on-demand RedHat 7.1 help?

[Chris Fowler]

Diald is easy.  Just specify the scripts to run.  I had a problem with my server trying to communicate with the outside world at regular intervals.  I assume something was in cron maybe trying to get news or update DNS.  This caused the server to dial mindspring when no client machines were powered up.  I never investigated it because I disabled the diald software.  I do not keep my server powered up all the time anymore.

Otherwise, I think Diald is an excellent feature.

Can anyone point me to a doc explaining how to setup dial-on-demand for
RedHat 7.1?? I'm eventually going to build an OpenBSD box to seperate out
the firewall portion, but for now, I need this to work. I used to use diald
and dialmon which was wonderfull for clients since they could control the
connection up/down from their winbloze boxes. I guess that's been abandoned
from what I can see. Darn!
