Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to use the "internal" identd
deamon without it being started by inetd? 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...
Thank you
Simon
