First you have to install an ident server. Fortunately, this is painless because there is one in the ports: cd /usr/ports/security/pidentd make install After that is done, you have to edit the /etc/inetd.conf file to enable the server. ee /etc/inetd.conf Scroll down the file until you get to this line: #auth stream tcp wait root /usr/local/sbin/identd identd -w -t120 Uncomment that line (i.e., erase the #) And that's pretty much it. I'm not certain how to reinitialise inetd.conf without rebooting, since I am a newbie to FreeBSD. However, I think exec /etc/inetd.conf when you are root should do the trick. If not, then just reboot the box. Any BSD gurus have any comments/suggestions? I would love to hear them. ===== PGP public key: http://i.am/dennisjun/ or ldap://certserver.pgp.com/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
