Topic: Indentd server

[CJones]

I am trying to use Dalnet IRC services and cannot connect because I have no IDENT. How would I enable a IDENT server on the SME 5.1.2? Thank you.

I fixed this problem by simply opening the port (113) for ident using IPCHAINS.. As long as the port is open, dalnet seems to let you in with whatever default settings e-smith uses.

I use the following commands to open up port 113.

ipchains -I input -p -tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 113 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -I input -p -udp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 113 -j ACCEPT

If anyone else has a better way to do this .. let me know
