strange IDENT Relay behaviour

Hello,

the IDENT Relay act some kind of strange. It only gives a ident response once. Alter that one responce it wont give any further ident responses. If i change something at the IDENT Relay configuration it will work again for one time. Any workaround for this?

What if you set it to "Forward Connections"?

I have problems with the identd as well. Currently running 5.027.

If I enable ident proxy but not forward it seem to work fine simply replying the same default ident.

If I enable ident proxying no services will look it up. (I managed to get one lookup). Te internal computer does not receive ident request at all from the firewall.

The ident log often show nothing at all, and sometimes show oidentd[6987]: Forward timed out

I can't really see any reason for it to time out, unless there is some internal astaro fw rules blocking it.

seems that there won't be a quick fix on the horizon [:(]

I have replaced /var/chroot-ident/bin/__oidentd by oidentd (renamed), of course not without creating a safety copy first. I am not really sure what the original __oidentd does, guess it is a wrapper. I do not not know if there is any security impact, this is why I wouldn't manipulate the system in a productive environment.
