I know when I am on a system which has no rdns, identd (port 113) is necessary but not sufficient to let me connect to almost all EFNet servers. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Terlecki" To: "Ronan Lucio" ; Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2001 3:39 PM Subject: RE: Port 113 No, this port is used by identd. Many IRC servers require you to be able to respond on that port when you connect to it. It allows daemons to determine the username of a connecting client.

What services use this port? For example: I have a computer that is only DNS server, Does this port need allow connections the to DNS service work?
