Does anyone know of a way to stop popper from doing ident and reverse dns lookups everytime someone connects?
If you are running it from inetd, keep in mind that SuSE's tcpd build has -DALWAYS_RFC931 set. This means that identd username lookups are *always* attempted, not just when you've asked for them in /etc/hosts.[allow|deny].
grrr... Yes I am.. is there any way to disable this behavior without recompiling? (I WAS using xinetd until I hit a number of annoying bugs... For starters, it seems to kill the originating IP address. ie connections to pop appear to come from localhost in /var/log/mail) TIA --- Nix - nix@susesecurity.com http://www.susesecurity.com
