[ale] diald routing

[David S. Jackson]

I haven't used diald in ages, and I'm having trouble getting it to route
properly.  I'm setting up a box for someone else to use as a dialout
server.

PPP seems to be setup properly on this new debian 3.0 box (diald
0.94-5); pon and poff seem to do the right things.  But when I start up
diald it creates:

n:/etc/diald# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt
Iface
127.0.0.4       0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH        0 0          0 sl0
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 sl0
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U         0 0          0 sl0

And then when I bring up the ppp0 interface, I get:

puddin:/etc/diald# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt
Iface
127.0.0.4       0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH        0 0          0 sl0
209.165.105.2   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH        0 0          0 ppp0
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 sl0
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U         0 0          0 sl0

As you can see, the default route doesn't seem to get set properly.  It
should be 0.0.0.0   209.165.105.2  255.255.255.255  UH  0 0 pp0  right?

Also, I thought the sl0 interface was supposed to be replaced altogether
by the ppp0 interface.  Why is it still there?

The sl0 doesn't get set properly as the default route either.  I have
the following in my diald.defaults (diald.options):

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%  SNIP  %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% SNIP %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Any ideas on what the problem is and how to correct it?
