Hi, I'm running a 3.1-stable box as a gateway for my home LAN using ipfilter and ipnat. I'm running identd. The ident works fine if I irc from the gateway. But if I use mIRC from my NT box or BitchX from another FreeBSD box, ident doesn't go. My /whois is prefixed with a tilde (~). I have found an ident server for NT, but what use would that be? Any solutions available? Is this an NAT issue? I've read in the mailing list archives about installing a sock5 fireall. Does that make sense given my current use of ipfilter and ipnat? -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.FreeBSDDiary.org/freebsd/ NZ FreeBSD User Group - http://www.nzfug.nz.freebsd.org/ The Racing System - http://www.racingsystem.com/racingsystem.htm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
