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?
