Hello..
	
	Sorry if this is the wrong mailing list to send this question to.
I wasn't sure weather to send this question to ports or questions.

	I'm trying to install an external identd server via /etc/inetd.conf
so that I won't get that annoying ~brueggma@blah when I /whois myself.  This
is how I did it:

cd /usr/ports/security/pidentd; make; make install; make clean
vi /etc/inetd.conf
uncomment auth    stream  tcp     wait    root    /usr/local/sbin/identd  identd -w -t120
killall -HUP inetd
vi /etc/hosts.allow
add the following line "auth : ALL : allow" at the top.
I then fire up BitchX, but the following is written to /var/log/messages:
Apr 11 16:45:47 crh5193 inetd[148]: auth/tcp server failing (looping), service terminated
The following is also displayed when I use BitchX:
[umn]  *** Looking up your hostname...
[umn]  *** Found your hostname, cached
[umn]  *** Checking Ident
[umn]  *** No Ident response

What am I doing wrong?
