While moving saved FreeBSD security messages, I ran across an 11/94 message telling how to modify the 1.1.5.1 kernel to log rejected UDP and TCP attempts. I implemented it. It showed me where I was trying to use name service before the name server was working, and (here's where we get back 'round to e-mail) it revealed that I am rejecting TCP authentication requests (port 113) every time I send mail. I guess I used to think that authentication service was provided by inetd. Apparently not. What provides it? Do I already have the necessary daemon in 1.1.5.1 and just need to start it in /etc/rc.local? If I don't already have it, where is a good place to look for it? A pointer to the end of any thread leading to authentication service would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - -- David E.
