I've been trying to get ident working on my box for a week now without
much luck.I need for to irc but mainlt I need it because a lot of ftp
sites require it and as it happens those are the sites I want to  dl
from :)I have ident running as /usr/bin/ident,where it's located and
identd as /usr/sbin/in.identd -n 501.I got this from the ident man page
with the number 501 being my username's  number.I can tell their running
by issuing the command ps aux | less.I've read both man pages and the
only file I can see that can be  edited is /etc/identd.conf which is
blank by default so that shouldn't matter.I also have the auth line
uncommented in /etc/inetd.conf.But I'm still having no luck.Am I missing
something else?



                    Thank you,Gary Martin
