>Do I _want_ to run tcplogd? Is this a bug or a feature in tcplogd? A bug. It looks like the identd-lookup-code of tcplogd kicks in _after_ the connection is already down. And so it doesn't get a valid user and it looks like then it uses some garbled stuff that just happens to be in the user-id field. I discovered this some time ago when I had no telnetd and connected to this non-existing port: same result. Garbled user field. There was some discussion on my bug-report that this is a known problem and it might be fixed in some next upload of tcplogd. Look in the bugs to the package iplogger for details, there is a patch against tcplogd that should fix that problem. bye, Georg -- http://www.westfalen.de/hugo/
