I really need help to solve this. First of, I don't really undertand the problem (technically, that is), secondly, I don't have any means of trying a fix... I have a patch I _THINK_ would fix the problem, but i don't know anyone with a PPC w/ masquerading... (powerpc.debian.org don't have masquerading compiled in). So if someone with (good ?) perl knowledge can take a look at this, I would be great full....

Package: midentd Version: 1.4-2 Due to different endianess between Intel and PPC, midentd only works right on one of both platforms in it's current form. At least the PPC version is broken in the procstr sub, as there the IPs are reversed before unpacked. Throw out the unpack and the lookup works. - - System Information Debian Release: potato Kernel Version: Linux jill 2.2.1 #101 Fri Feb 5 16:17:12 EST 1999 ppc unknown Versions of the packages midentd depends on: ii netbase 3.11-4 Basic TCP/IP networking binaries -- strategic Panama Peking kibo [Hello to all my fans in domestic surveillance] PLO AK-47 assassination Ft.
