10.3: Enable identd server for internet relay chat use
Authored by: joesample on Feb 27, '04 03:09:37PM

Thanks for the script and advice, but I'm still having a problem.

I did the following:
1- created and chmod'ed the perl scrip
2- added the lines to xinetd.conf
3- restarted the xinetd daemon

Now my IRC client no longer gives the error No Identd response.
But... I still cannot connect to my desired IRC server because it appears the Identd response from my machine gives 127.0.0.1 and this is not allowed by the IRC server. I know this is my localhost IP address. How might I fix this so I am returning either my internal IP (192.168.0.100) or my firewall gateway IP (dynamic Ip)?

btw- I have a dynamic IP forwarding service so I can use a URL to redirect to my computer (myname.hopto.com) and get around the dyanmic IP problem but not sure if this helps with Identd

Thanks!!!
