I've run into an unusual problem with Mandrake 7.0. I installed identd
(actually, midentd as this box masquerades internal hosts with ipchains).
in.midentd runs as nobody.nobody in inetd.conf, and ident challenges fail
with a log entry that permission is denied for /proc/net/tcp. If I chmod
the /proc/net directory, identd requests succeed. However, permissions
revert to the old permissions soon after.
Is this a bug with Mandrake or something I'm doing wrong? Must in.identd
run as a super-user?
