Hi, I encountered the similar problem myself - and asked around for solutions. I have come to the conclusion that there are _no_ identd implementations for FreeBSD that would support NAT/Masq'ed connections. There are plenty of them for Linux, but they seem to use proc filesystem and are of no use.. Pidentd doesn't support masqed connections. There is patch for it to do that, but it is Linux only (http://www.manpages.org/pidentd/pidentd+fm-1.1.patch.gz). Midentd and Oidentd support masqed connections in Linux, but not in *BSD. There are more like these, just check e.g. freshmeat. Ident2 doesn't seem to do masqed connections at all (http://www.nyct.net/~defile/programs/ident2/). Cidentd doesn't seem to have been updated since 1996, and there is a nasty buffer overflow in it.
