I use some servers that require I send valid ident responses. The problem is that because the ident is an incoming TCP connection and I'm NAT'ing multiple machines to the same public IP, there's no way that I can think of to pass the request through my gateway (3.2-RELEASE) to the machine the ident is intended for. Is the ident daemon in /etc/inetd.conf what I'm looking for? I'd have to have inetd running to use an identd, right? What are the security risks involved with running an identd? Is there a rooting risk like there is with finger? Should I use an identd other than the stock one? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
