I have downloaded and installed the xinetd update for RH7 last night I then also went and grabbed the latest identd. After installation I went to my router which now has forwarding enabled in the nat table to port 113. The router is set to 10.0.0.2. This is an ADSL connection at 640kbps. I went to this Qwest web site to get the settings for the router http://www.qwest.net/nav4/help/faqs/faqs_pppusing675.html#3 The router is a Cisco 675 with 2.3.5 CBOS My outside port wan0-0 Outside is set to a static ip at my isp. >From "show nat command" "The Global IP is fake for obvious reasons" Local IP :Port Glocal IP : Port Timer Flags Proto Interface 10.0.0.2:113 177.76.20.140:113 0 0x0041 tcp eth0 wan0-0 10.0.0.2:113 177.76.20.140:113 0 0x0041 udp eth0 wan0-0 10.0.0.2:194 177.76.20.140:194 0 0x0041 tcp eth0 wan0-0 10.0.0.2:194 177.76.20.140:194 0 0x0041 udp eth0 wan0-0 10.0.0.2:20 177.76.20.140:20 0 0x0041 tcp eth0 wan0-0 10.0.0.2:21 177.76.20.140:21 0 0x0041 tcp eth0 wan0-0 My question is: 1. If my configuration of xinetd and identd is wrong, how would I go about removing xinetd and identd to do a fresh install? Here is a snipet of log from the irc server "sprynet.us.galaxynet.org on port 6667: AUTH:*** Looking up your hostname AUTH:*** Checking for ident server AUTH:*** Checking for open SOCKS server AUTH:*** Found your hostname AUTH:*** Erroneous identification response AUTH:*** No SOCKS server found Doing a /whois nobody1 comes up with ~nobody@my address So anyone that can help this irc less chap (for over three weeks now), would be greatly appreciated.
