I just noticed today that my identd was not working. And I can't figure
out why. All the local tests seem to work fine.

netstat -n |grep ESTAB | ./itest

opsys           206.252.171.15  1914    209.69.36.227   119
opsys           206.252.171.15  1022    207.153.65.3    22
opsys           206.252.171.15  1061    206.165.111.241 6667

[opsys@pinkfloyd 07-26-1998 3:45pm] ~>telnet localhost 113
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.hit.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
1921 , 113
1921 , 113 : USERID : UNIX :opsys
Connection closed by foreign host.

But for some reason non local lookups for instance, from irc, fail with
NO-USER. And the telnet test to liu.se fails as well.

Connecting to Ident server at 206.252.171.15...
Querying for lport 49176, fport 114....
Reading response data...
Error response is:
   Lport........ 49176
   Fport........ 114
   Error........ NO-USER
Connection closed by foreign host.

Something has obviously changed I just don't know what.
Any ideas?

Chris
