I also am interested in this, I am currently running a Mandrake Linux 6.0 box running ipchains for nat and firewall. I am just learning FreeBSD, only about 3 weeks old in BSD now, and have seen many a post regarding BSD being better at this than Linux. I identd is not the way to go, what is the alternative? And I know IPFW is built into BSD, is IPFilter also? I am currently on my linux box because I screwed up my bsd box and that is being dealt with in other posts. Oh, well, the joys of learning. :-) Chip Wiegand William Woods wrote: > Ahh.....ok, now THAT makes more sence to me :) > > On 26-Jan-00 f.johan.beisser wrote: > > > > my bad, i misstyped. > > > > i intended to say "since i think identd is useless, and more than a little > > bit pointless" > > > > oosp. > > > > -- jan > > > > > > On Tue, 25 Jan 2000, William Woods wrote: > > > >> I just a question, since yu think natd is useless, how do YOU do nat then? > >> > >> On 25-Jan-00 f.johan.beisser wrote: > >> > > >> > yes, you'll have to forward port 113 to the machine (auth).. the other > >> > option is to make sure you have identd accessable from the natd machine. > >> > > >> > since i think natd is useless, and more than a little bit pointless, i'd > >> > suggest going to find one of the simple identds off of freshmeat.net > >> > > >> > -- jan > >> > > >> > On Tue, 25 Jan 2000, Daniel Brownstone wrote: > >> > > >> >> > >> >> This is only tangentially related, but I'm using natd on my box, and now > >> >> my Win98 machine can't seem to connect, for example, to IRC, because most > >> >> servers won't recognize the identd function on mirc.
