From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010726 Netscape6/6.1 Description of problem: This is actually a problem with the address' used in the PPP/SLIP dialout module for Linuxconf. It uses 127.0.0.10 and 127.0.0.11 for the local and remote address entries it creates in the conf files under /var/run. Since the kernel will not route to these address' diald will not place any calls when demand dialing is selected. The solution would be to change the default address' used by Linuxconf to a block that the kernel will route such as 10.0.0.0. This is not a problem in previous kernels and the change will not adversely affect previous kernels. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linuxconf 1.25r7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use PPP/SLIP dialout to setup PPP on demand connection 2.verify routes to SLIP proxy interface, "route", ifconfig 3.open lynx to any web page on the internet that should force diald up. Actual Results: Diald will not diald. Even enabling debug does not produce any errors because as far as diald is concerned, it is configured correctly. Expected Results: If the kernel would route to 127 block, diald should open the PPP link via dialout. This should be a simple fix. Just change the address used by Linuxconf to create the diald proxy sl0 interface and routes. Additional info:
Closing because we don't ship linuxconf anymore
