CentOS identd / authd hoopla
I recently needed to jump on Freenode to mingle with some folks and ask a few questions, only to realize that freenode does strict ident checks. It’s been a few years since I’ve had to run an ident daemon (or rather, ‘authd’ on centos/rhel/fc/etc.) and turns out I still dislike xinetd just as much as it dislikes for me to writes its silly service definitions. After a few mins, I got a new authd config working. Here it is, if anyone needs it:
service auth {
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = ident
cps = 4096 10
instances = UNLIMITED
server = /usr/sbin/in.authd
server_args = -t60 –xerror –os -E
}
Daniel, please post to me, I am a lonely blog.
