Hi, I installed cfingerd 1.4.3-1.1 on a Woody system and opened port 79 in my firewall. I'm trying to finger myself from another host that's also behind a firewall. The messages I get in daemon.log look like this: ==== May 17 12:41:20 fiedlerfamily cfingerd[5616]: connect from somewhereelse May 17 12:44:29 fiedlerfamily cfingerd[5616]: rfc1413-connect: Connection timed out May 17 12:44:29 fiedlerfamily cfingerd[5616]: juergen fingered from unknown@somewhereelse ==== I don't get anything back. Also note the long interval between the original request and the realisation that the other machine is not going to come across with a response. I replaced '-ALLOW_NONIDENT_ACCESS' with '+ALLOW_NONIDENT_ACCESS' in cfingerd.conf, but it didn't help. I'm hitting my head against the wall here. Why does it look like it's insisting on an ident respons when I told it not to? Is there anything else I have to change? Also, I wonder whether someone could try to finger juergen@fiedlerfamily.net to see whether the problem is specific to this particular host. I would appreciate it. TIA --j
