Maybe it's not the right question to ask, here's my problem instead and I'm open to any suggestions you might have... I have FreeBSD v4.0, with ipfw, natd, socks5 installed, 2 network interface (ed0 = internet, ed1 = intranet(192.168.1.*)), I set up inetd so it only listens to my internal network, I don't want anything in inetd (telnetd, ftpd etc..) to take requests from the internet, anything except for identd. I downloaded and installed pidentd 2.8.5 so i could make it listen on all interfaces, it works from inetd but not from the command line with the '-b' switch. So with pidentd not working, i was wondering if the internal identd provided by freebsd could work standalone. Or maybe I should make inetd listen to all interfaces but block the ports i don't want with ipfw rules? I just installed FreeBSD for the 1st time last week and I'm not fammiliar with most applications, what would a rule to "deny access to telnet port from the interface ed0 (Cable modem dynamic ip address)" would look like with ipfw? I did read the man page but couldn't find an answer to that question... I hope this message isn't too confusing...
