Hi, I have a FreeBSD4.1 box set up as a firewall/natd/dhcpd box. I have a windows box behind this firewall. I can get online and use the internet from the windows box but I cannot connect to IRC servers. They all say I'm not authorized. I installed the oidentd package and thought I set it up according to the man page, restarted inetd with kill -HUP [pid] but its still not working. I even created oidentd.users in /etc which I thought I did right. The man pages suck. They are written for people who already know how to do this stuff. I dont know what to do and I have searched for info and help with no luck. The FreeBSD book I have doesn't even mention identd.. but its not the latest book. Am I screwed? I would think its possible to do what i'm trying to do but I am really confused. Thanks for any help.. I would offer to pay for help but I dont have any money.
