Hello, I've installed identd, and it gives an example line to run in inetd.conf, however it suggests it should run as user "sys". The user "sys" does not exist on my freebsd4 system. The man page for identd says: User "sys" should have enough rights to READ the kernal but NOT write to it. So i've gone with the inetd.conf example of "root", but i have a terrible feeling that that is rather insecure ? Any comments ? Or does anyone know who kidnapped "sys" ? Does his family miss him ? Was he a nice man ? etc regards, rob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
