Starting with FreeBSD 4.0, the internal identd daemon located in inetd. Here's a snippet from the man page I thought would be handy in your situation: -- snip -- Currently, the only internal service to take arguments is ``auth''. With- out options, the service will always return ``ERROR : HIDDEN-USER''. The available arguments to this service that alter its behavior are: -d fallback If the real ident service is enabled, return this user for every request. If the real ident service is disabled, then this flag, instead of returning an error if getting the socket credentials or looking up the user name fails, return a default fallback user name to the requesting ident client. This is primarily useful when running this service on a NAT machine. -r Offer a real ``auth'' service, as per RFC 1413. All the remain- ing flags apply only in this case. -- snip -- It should look like this in /etc/inetd.conf: -- snip -- auth stream tcp nowait root internal auth -r -d nat-user -- snip -- Replace ``nat-user'' with whatever you desire. Hope this helps... -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Omachonu Ogali oogali@intranova.net | | Intranova Networking Group http://tribune.intranova.net | | PGP Key ID: 0xBFE60839 | | PGP Fingerprint: C8 51 14 FD 2A 87 53 D1 E3 AA 12 12 01 93 BD 34 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
