auth/identd/pidentd for IRC

[CronoCloud]

I keep forgetting that the bog standard RH auth daemon doesn't work properly behind NAT, so I got around to installing pidentd which does
It's a simple compile, and then you edit /etc/xinetd.d/auth to look like this:

Code: Select all


service auth
  {
        flags = REUSE
        socket_type = stream
        wait = no
        user = nobody
        server = /usr/local/sbin/identd
        server_args = -m -N
        logonfailure += USERID
        disable = no
  }


And send the HUP to xinetd as follows:

killall -HUP xinetd

Of course, for auth to work at all, you have to open up port 113 in the YDL firewall, and port forward 113 to your PS3 on the router end, and have auth allowed in your /etc/hosts.allow
