Chuck, you might be right. Because, identd is launched at init, and I have
the following line in the /etc/inet.conf :
auth stream tcp wait root /usr/sbin/in.indentd in.indentd -e -o
Do you suggest I remove that line, then restart inetd?
The error in the messages log might disappear, but you think that the server
will respond more quickly (because my initial problem is that my linux
servers take some time to reply)?
Thanks for your help
Regards
Nathalie Boulos
