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.

Kris
