Topic: Enabling identd in SME 7.1

[ryppn]

Hi All,

After recently trying to upgrade my 6.5 box and finding the repositories gone I decided to take the plunge and wipe and install 7.1

So far everything seems to be working fine, however it would seem when I connect to IRC I am unable to provide an ident response.

Whilst I acknowledge that ident is very unpopular as an identification process, I need to be able to identify on networks like #Freenode to be able to receive private messages etc.

I would appreciate if someone could explain how I regain the functionality of 6.5 whereby oidentd would read from /etc/oidentd_masq.conf as before.

I've had a bit of a dig and noticed 'db configuration show' listed :-

oidentd=service
    TCPPort=113
    access=public
    status=disabled

But setting this to enabled hasn't done the trick

Many thanks,

John R.

What does

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S35oidentd status
give you?

Can you list all the steps you took ?

Hi there,

Querying as you requested gives:

/service/oidentd: run (pid 6233) 32044 seconds, normally down

So it would seem identd is running. However, when I check the oidentd/current log I see:

2007-01-15 11:10:59.428380500 [kornbluth.freenode.net] 43243 , 6667 : ERROR : NO-USER

Any advise would be appreciated.

Just re-reading your post I don't think ident is your problem on freenode.

You need to register a nick and when you connect you identify yourself with

Code: [Select]

/msg nickserv register password

Code: [Select]

/msg nickserv identify password

Hi,

I'm aware how to identify and register with #Freenode. I'm more concerned with getting oidentd to function as before.

Digging further, if I edit /var/service/oidentd/run and add -r test to the end, I now see the following in the log:

2007-01-15 18:54:27.960285500 Connection from 209.249.249.126.above.net (209.249.249.126):63938
2007-01-15 18:54:27.974599500 [209.249.249.126.above.net] Failed lookup: 39440 , 6667 : (returned test)

So, it would seem identd works, but doesn't masquerade internal ip's properly.

Any ideas?
