I have finally found what amounts to be a 'proxy aware' identd program. Unfortunately this app was written for Linux. It compiled fine on my FreeBSD box. Everyone says 'where are the users, why dont we have more'. Well, I am not a programmer. I took a Korn Shell programming class way back when in college. I really do not want to be a programmer. I dont mind scripting and I have no problem reading doc after doc to get something to work. Just please, dont make me program! Anyway, this app is at ftp://ftp.compsoc.net/pub/users/steve/midentd/midentd-proxy-0.22.tar.gz. As I said earlier, it compiled fine. However when I plug it into inetd.conf and I have an internal machine try to send ident info I get this on the BSD box: in.midentd[336]: Can't open /proc/net/tcp : No such file or directory I have been told that the proc structure is very different between FreeBSD and Linux and this app would not be an easy port. First off, what is the 'proc structure'? What makes an app such as this more or less difficult over another to port? Secondly, anyone up for the challenge? I really could use something like this. Thanks, as usual, for your help!!!
