Are you sure? If you simply don't run an identd, the queries will get an instant connection refused error. That's even faster than sending back a bogus response. The only way a long timeout can occur is if you have a filter rule installed that drops the incoming packets without responding to them. You can block the incoming packets but still avoid the timeout with a filter rule that sends back a reset: add reset tcp from any to any auth setup in via etha16 John -- John Polstra j...@polstra.com John D.
