Actually, it is. (Thanks to Guy Helmer for help). It's logged in syslog's mail.info as well as in the message's headers. It says something like relay=username@host in the syslog and Receved from username@host by localhost in the message header. Additionally, I could ONLY make this work if I used the "-i" mode of pidentd. The "-w" mode simply would not work with sendmail and I didn't try running identd in standalone mode. I found this pretty weird, but sorta said, "oh well".. I'd rather my inetd not get so hammered.. Any ideas? > Plus it's trivial to make identd lie, if you have root on any box > anywhere. I realize this - but I only use the information for auditing purposes - not authentication, and only from local-trusted-hosts.. --Steve (http://pr.erau.edu/~swaits)
