I feel really stupid asking a question like this here, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why ident isn't responding to requests from, for example, irc networks askin for an ident response. I'm running SuSE 8.0 pro, and I have what seems to be an identical setup at my office. An outside machine, with suse firewall running, but with ident enable, as far as I can tell. I don't think its the firewall anyway, because stopping it seems to have no effect anyway. I've looked at services, and can't see whats wrong, or rather, maybe whats not there. I've searched the website, and google as well. Are the archives of this list searchable? I don't think they are, as I haven't found how to, but if they are, if someone could tell me how, I'd look there first instead of posting here, as I feel the answer to my question is more than likely there. Thanks, Matt
