What drugs are you on? :-) Inetd is the Internet Super-Server, which is used to pass off incoming connections to appropriate programs. The message you're seeing is from inetd, because you start it with the -l (log) option. The identd utility is a program which can have incoming connections passed to it by inetd. There's nothing wrong with the options you're starting identd with -- the problem is that you're starting inetd with the log option, which causes it to be more verbose than you seem to want. > > > Anyone remember what the -R flag is for? > > > > RTFM, you lazy sod. :-) > > Like I said, it's not in man identd. The -R option is an option to inetd, not identd. Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
