Hi, diald is a program to automaticy ondemand bring up PTP ip connections.

It brings the connection down after a time out, and can be configured to
bring down the connection after it's seen a tcp.fin packet for every
recently live tcp connection..

Running 2.0.30 it did this fine for me (I think it has been awhile), and
people on the diald mailing list say it's working fine for them with
2.0.29 and such..

When running 2.0.32 it brings the connection down fine on the closure of
telnet thats running on the diald box.. However, if I telnet from my linux
2.1 box or a win 95 box through the IPmasq, diald never sees the fin
packet and thus waits the full timeout.. (Ie. ipmasq isnt senting the fin
through)...

I've tried looking through the patches.. There were lots of changes in
2.0.31 involving the ipv4 code.. I was hoping if anyone knew the cause or
could get me a better idea of what I'm looking for..
