 Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2005 10:16 am Post subject: Shell - Ident problems - help!!! |
 |
|
I am running RHEL 3 and trying to set up a shell service. I got mostly everything installed and running, but when my bot connects to irc it shows up as:
Joins: TngMstr (U2FsdGVkX@blah.blah.net)
I believe the format for ident is: Username ident@host, so it appears the ident is screwed up. I have tried several ident progs, oidentd - pidentd - linux-identd, none of which solved my problem.
I have admin rights and root access to the machine.
ANY suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!! |

from man identd output on my BSD machine:
| Quote: |
The -C[<keyfile>] option tells identd to return encrypted tokens
instead of user names. The local and remote IP addresses and TCP port
numbers, the local user's uid number, a timestamp, a random number, and
a checksum, are all encrypted using DES with a secret key derived from
the first line of the keyfile (using des_string_to_key(3)). The
encrypted binary information is then encoded in a base64 string (32
characters in length) and enclosed in square brackets to produce a
token that is transmitted to the remote client. The encrypted token
can later be decrypted by idecrypt( . There may not be a space
between the -C and the name of the keyfile. If the keyfile is not
specified, it defaults to /usr/local/etc/identd.key.

I'd imagine it's the same, or similar, for RHEL's identd |

my server uses xinetd as a replacement for inetd. I found the ident.key, in it is the following...
zrotYPNON/TirjkxtjBqEYeA2g7ePqozWBp5p0SI4rw=
CHANGE THE LINE ABOVE TO A PASSPHRASE
I tried restarting identd without the -C[<keyfile>] arg and it still didnt matter
