I can't get pidentd to properly authenticate me. E.g., using the telnet site
suggested by the program's install to "test" it, I get the following:
<<<
bash# telnet 130.236.254.1 114
Trying 130.236.254.1...
Connected to 130.236.254.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Welcome to the IDENT server tester, version 1.9
(Linked with libident-0.20)
Connecting to Ident server at 166.84.254.60...
Querying for lport 1040, fport 114....
Reading response data...
Error response is:
Lport........ 1040
Fport........ 114
Error........ NO-USER
Connection closed by foreign host.
>>>
I've attempted to follow the configuration instructions to the letter.
Hence, after the telnet test:
bash# ps -aux | grep ident
root 308 1.9 3.5 156 484 ?? Ss 10:07AM 0:00.06 in.identd -w
-t120
in /etc/inetd.conf:
ident stream tcp wait root /usr/local/sbin/in.identd
in.identd -w -t120
in /etc/services:
auth 113/tcp ident tap #Authentication Service
auth 113/udp ident tap #Authentication Service
Perhaps I've made some sort of mistake in the parameters governing my network
setup (I use kernel PPP, athough user PPP yields the same situation). I
configured my new laptop, which runs FreeBSD 2.1.6, first for an internet
service provider out in California. I didn't run ident, nevertheless I had
unrestricted access to anonymous ftp on Burka.NetVision.net.il and other
places. Having reconfigured for panix.com in New York City (where I live), I
can no longer access Burka and I run into other problems with sites that are
attempting to ident authenticate me.
The pident INSTALL also recommends the following to verify that the
internal kernel-accessing routines in the Ident daemon are working
correctly.
netstat -n | grep ESTAB | ./itest
This yields nothing, so I figure it's the kernel accessing routines that are
the problem.
I'd appreciate any guidance toward a solution.
