I starte inetd like this: [root@ducky:~] # inetd -d -wW -R 1024 Within the first dozen or so lines of output, I see this: ADD : auth proto=tcp accept=1 max=0 user=root group=(null)class=daemon builtin=0x80501f0 server=internal policy="" It appears that inetd needs to be restarted to get the internal auth to work. A mere HUP won't work.

It should work > fine. Use '-d' or '-g' options for auth. Yes, I will run this on the NAT box. But it doesn't appear to achieve my goals. I was hoping for an auth which would work for IRC clients on internal workstations with access through the firewall. It's not. But perhaps my expectations aren't reasonable. cheers -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.freebsddiary.org/ FreshPorts - http://freshports.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
