I was planning on trying another ident daemon. However I'm still puzzled and am still looking for answers to my questions: (1) Why does inetd -d (debugging mode) hang my box? (2) Does the inet daemon's auth -r not work at all? (1) is the worse. If I try to boot with the -d flag, the box hangs at boot and I need to reset it, boot -s, fsck, and then mount / in read/write mode just to be able to edit rc.conf... (2) is just annoying. Did anybody get auth to work with the -f flag? I really want to be able to give fake ident replies but if I have to, I'll just install a daemon from the ports. It's just my nature. I can't ignore the problem, I have to know why it doesn't work :P > You may want to install pidentd which is in /usr/ports/security/pidentd. > That will get you your ident.
