I noticed that midentd is the default ident daemon for frozen now. I think this is a realy cool program because most linux boxes are either NAT or part of NAT. It's realy cool to see a program that fills such a huge need BUT... there are bugs I think.
I don't know why it does this but: telnet localhost 113 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. print on closed filehandle main::LOG at /usr/sbin/midentd line 161. a print on closed filehandle main::LOG at /usr/sbin/midentd line 161. 0,0 : ERROR : INVALID-PORT print on closed filehandle main::LOG at /usr/sbin/midentd line 161. thoes errors can be sent to the client. It seems like midentd does not have access to /var/log/midentd. This should be changed. In any event I changed the program to insted open (FH, ">> /tmp/midentd.log"); print FH localtime(). " [$$] $logtext\n"; for testing and it still does not work for MASQ addresses. I could be using the program wrong but I put my ip in the midentd.mircusers and this is what is logged.
