Linuxers,
I've installed diald from an rpm. The diald howto says that I have to start it from the /etc/rc.d/init.d/diald script. However, there's no such script existing.
I've been trying to follow the diald howto, but I would prefer if someone having the experience mail me off/on list.
Also, is it absolutely necessary to use a chat script with diald? Can't I just use wvdial or something similar?

Create your own. Open any one of the scripts (sendmail/httpd would be nice), and edit to suit your needs. The important lines are these:
# chkconfig: 2345 80 30 # description: Sendmail is a Mail Transport Agent, which is the program \ # that moves mail from one machine to another.
man chkconfig will tell you what it is.
basically, the chkconfig line has the levels in which the script should be activated, the startup priority and shutdown priority. You'd want diald to startup after everything else, and shutdown before everything else shuts down, so...
