Ok, from your attached file, you had:
--
Feb 28 13:48:18 fockhock in.telnetd[137]: connect from 192.168.0.2
Feb 28 13:48:24 fockhock login[138]: ROOT LOGIN on `ttyp1' from `192.168.0.2'
Feb 28 13:54:07 fockhock identd[150]: Connection from ns1.casema.net
Feb 28 13:54:07 fockhock identd[150]: from: 195.96.96.33 ( ns1.casema.net )
for: 61076, 25
Feb 28 13:54:07 fockhock identd[150]: Returned: 61076 , 25 : NO-USER
--
This is, indeed, a Ident problem. On your MASQ server, find the
following line (or something very close to it) in the
/etc/inetd.conf file:
--
auth stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/in.identd in.identd -l -e
-o
--
Now, put a "#" in front of it. Now, for this change to take effect,
you need to restart inetd. To do this, run "ps aux | grep inetd"
--
root 287 0.0 0.2 776 92 ? S Jan 29 0:06 inetd
--
Now, tell it to restart by running "kill -HUP 287". After all
that, hopefully everything will be ok.
>I got that at ".dyn.ml.org", a service wich has ceased to exist.
Sucks huh? Check out www.cjb.net. They do the same thing that
ml.org did.
>So linux box is called "fockhock.dyn.ml.org".
I understand why you are doing this but since ml.org doesn't
really work anymore, this can actually HURT you. Until you have
this running, I'd recommend that you change all your names to
the same name as your ISP for the time being just to get things
rolling ok.
>DAR> I'd also recommend to update your cablemodem MTU to 1500.

You will DEFINATELY have IP masquerading problems unless its
1500. I can guarantee this for the time being.

Hmmm.. but what is the transfer rates like for a local FTP server?
Pretty fast downloads? Hows the uploads?
