Marso" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: pidentd woes Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Larry S.
