I had already noticed that the CD had bad RPMS, so I used the pidentd RPM
off Cooker, then tried the one from Beta 2, then tried the one from 7.0-2,
then tried the one from 6.1. The same error occurred in all of them, making
the problem seem more than just pidentd. I am STILL unable to connect to
EFnet/IRC do to their screening for valid identd responses. Can someone do
an install like the one I've outlined below and verify that I'm not smoking
crack? All you really have to do is start identd standalone and watch the
logs. The /var/log/messages output is below.
Have you investigated this?

Isn't it msec which changes properties?
doesn't seem to be related to msec.

It is well known that M$ products don't call free() after a malloc().
The Unix community wish them good luck for their future developments.

Problem:
1.
Identd does not seem to function (or start, for that matter). Upon
execution of "/etc/rc.d/init.d/identd start", the following is sent to
/var/log/messages:
May 28 15:47:20 adsl-64-216-197-92 identd[14702]: fopen("/proc/net/tcp",
"r"): Permission denied
May 28 15:47:20 adsl-64-216-197-92 identd: identd startup succeeded
A "ps ax" shows no ident or pident processes whatsoever. The startup was
not successful. =(
Attempts to use inetd to run identd services have failed, I'm guessing
because of a similar (permissions?) problem. I have tried to log on to
IRC
to test this. This usually fails, no servers will let me on do to a lack
of identd. I assume this means that identd still doesn't work if you use
inetd.
My thoughts, the "secure" kernel (used by default in High security?) is a
little "too" secure for identd, both standalone and when run through
inetd.
2.
This RPM installs a broken symlink, /usr/sbin/in.identd.8
3.
The pidentd RPM on the Beta 3 ISO/CD appears to be corrupt. This may have
just been my ISO/CD, not sure at this point. I had to use the RPM from
Cooker to get it installed.
Work Around:
The hydrogen3-ext.iso has a number of files filled with nulls. It appears
to
have been a gross oversight somewhere. The workaround that works for me is
to install hydrogen (beta 1) and use the hydrogen3 iso/cd files to do an
UPGRADE. That way, I may have some older files but none corrupt or just
left
out.
(Did someone use Netscape to transmit these files? I have had a 5Mb file
filled with nulls occur from a netscape "instant download". Fortunately I
was watching the screen at the time the DL started and the window flashed
momentarily on the screen and the windowopen sound collided with the window
close one.)
