Hi,

I'm currently having some issues with inetd's internal ident server.  Heres
what I would like it to do, although I'm unsure whether this possible.

I want machines behind the nat to alway be given out the ident of bill.
This is becuase I only irc from one machine behind the box.  For real users
on the natd/ppp server I would like the ident server to give out their real
credentials.

Heres how I've configured the machine:-

From inetd.conf:
    auth    stream  tcp     nowait  root    internal auth -r -f -n -t 30 -d
bill

From ipfw show:
    10140    120      5224 allow tcp from any to any 113 in recv tun0

From uname -a: (Please excuse the domain, its a toy one here related to a
style of music.) ;-)
    FreeBSD phat.chemicalterrorism.com 4.2-BETA FreeBSD 4.2-BETA #0: Sun Nov
5 02:39:37 GMT 2000
bill@phat.chemicalterrorism.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/chemical  i386

Now when I use irc I get a correct ident, namely bill as the request is not
local.  But.... When I irc or use another service that requires ident
authentication I still get bill, or after playing with the configuration
I've found that the inetd is not or cannot resolve the local username.  I'm
now truely baffled by all of this and can only think its something to do
with the way natd?!? rewrites the outgoing packets.

Any help would be very much appreciated as I've now been playing with this
for the last month on and off and its starting to drive me around the bend.

All the best

Si.
