I was having trouble getting onto IRC because my natd gateway wasn't handling ident requests properly. So, I searched and searched for an answer, and finally I found one (largely due to research on my own). Here's the settings that I put in a file called /etc/rc.natd. I run natd with "natd -f /etc/rc.natd". ---- Start rc.natd ---- same_ports yes verbose yes unregistered_only yes interface ed1 redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.2:auth auth ---- End rc.natd ---- It's the last line that works all the magic. When the server forwards an ident request to my natd gateway, it's going to forward it to the machine that I have running mirc on (192.168.0.2). As you know, mirc has a small built-in ident daemon. It recieves the request and sends a So, there you have it. Mystery solved. Jon Bult _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
