Apparently, there are people whose computers are located in environments with either corporate or ISP or some other kind of policy, which has disabled incoming ident connections without sending back a RST. I can think of several companies with this kind of firewall (and yes, I have tried to persuade them to just send a RST back, and no, they did not listen). From the discussion in this thread in the ports@FreeBSD.org list it is apparent that there are some ISP's that do this transparently, without informing their users and without giving them the option of doing anything about it :( G'luck, Peter --=20 Peter Pentchev roam@ringlet.net roam@FreeBSD.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 This sentence would be seven words long if it were six words shorter. --KjX7LgAomYr70Ka9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE9he5x7Ri2jRYZRVMRAiDoAKC9M/kQpDTDKJoqkhJkccrBvG1ICQCcC6Qx zP4gxiaRo0CTD1bswndhEOk= =Muar -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --KjX7LgAomYr70Ka9-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
