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?
