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. ------- end -------
