One or two problems here? I get this server failing (looping) error message every time an email arrives on this 3.3R system. Maybe it's related to the following problem too, though it does say auth/tcp and not ident/tcp. Also, I can't use most irc servers because they say there's no identd when as far as I'm concerned it should be working. I have installed pidentd port and /usr/local/sbin/identd is present. /etc/inetd.conf contains only this (default) line: auth stream tcp wait root /usr/local/sbin/identd identd -w -t120 inetd has been sent a SIGHUP several times. /etc/hosts.allow starts with ALL : ALL : allow The freebsd-questions archive has a few slightly similar questions. The most similar question/answer I found was the one below from Doug White. If this is relevant to my problem(s) then I have another two questions: which program is the one that's being run wrong? which man page? === snipped message from questions archive === Date: Fri, 4 Jun 1999 15:16:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Doug White <dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu> To: Anonymous Coward <dacaje@tir.com> Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: inetd, pidentd, service failed: looping Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.4.03.9906041515510.13154-100000@resnet.uoregon.edu> In-Reply-To: <375896F6.36F16F24@tir.com> On Fri, 4 Jun 1999, Anonymous Coward wrote: > so i couldn't irc because most servers need identd, so i searched the > freebsd mailing list archives found help on that, then i do it and > whenever i try to use irc i'll get "inetd[140]: ident/tcp server > failing (looping), service terminated" scrolled 3 or 4 times. so i > search the archives for that and i see some people that had that problem > but no responses to the questions so can anyone help me out? You're running it wrong. Check the manpage.
