--- Begin Message ---Package: linux-2.6 Severity: important Hi, I came across this problem by using ident identification with PostgreSQL in Debian. The default identd in Debian, pidentd, currently utilizes NETLINK (with a patch to upstream code[1]) for connection identification. Therefore, kernel support is needed. While CONFIG_IP_TCPDIAG is currently configured as a module by default (checked on i386 and sparc64), this one is not loaded automatically. This causes identd service to be broken by default: ernie@sonny:~$ telnet atari 113 Trying 192.168.5.99... Connected to atari. Escape character is '^]'. 22,36660 22 , 36660 : ERROR : NO-USER With the module tcp_diag loaded manually on the server, it works: ernie@sonny:~$ telnet atari 113 Trying 192.168.5.99... Connected to atari. Escape character is '^]'. 22,36660 22 , 36660 : USERID : UNIX :root The package pidentd "solved" this problem by just mentioning it in the README.Debian[2]. I'm currently seeing some possible solutions to solve this problem: (a) Make the module tcp_diag being loaded automatically on demand (preferred) (b) Set CONFIG_IP_TCPDIAG=y (c) Change pidentd, reassigning the bug (questionable) Thanks, Roland [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=208290 [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=305926 -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: sparc (sparc64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-sparc64, also tested with 2.6.14 on i386 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8)
