Hey all, just thought I'd share the solution... After massive amounts of digging in the mail archives I found out the answer was in freebsd-ports :) Apparently my recent (2 days ago) buildworld caused the problems with identd when changes to inetd became incorporated. To quote an email from Chris Piazza back on Sept 4, 1999: <begin quote> That's right. Brian Feldman backported some changes from -current that simplify getting user credentials from a socket. This is one side effect. <quote from commit message to /etc/inetd.conf> 1.33.2.2 Sun Aug 29 13:15:39 1999 UTC by green Branch: RELENG_3 The new pidentd now runs as root. </quote> <end quote> Changed the line in /etc/inetd.conf to: auth stream tcp wait root /usr/local/sbin/identd identd -w -t120 And all is happy again.
