Try # tcpdump fxp0 -n -s1500 -X tcp port 113 If you see an answer of "ERROR : NO-USER" then oidentd is working to some extent but unable to locate the uid, or to map the uid to a username. That would be a step towards finding the problem; ktrace and/or some debugging fprintf's in oidentd.c should help nail it down then. The uid in question must exist in the /etc/master.passwd of course. If you get an incoming S(YN) and a R(ST) in reply, then oident isn't listening on the right port or IP address. If you don't see any incoming S(YN), then the remote machine is not making an ident request, or some upstream firewall is blocking it out. (FWIW, oidentd works for me too under FreeBSD 5.4; but I don't have a 6 box to test on right now) Regards, Brian.
