IDENT Proxy

MarkMurphy
Do I need to enable this IDENT proxy? I have just the Mail security receiving incoming mail and forwarding to mail server and SSL and L2TP/IPsec VPN services facing the internet along with a windows Home server 2008 port forwarded with default port 80, 443, and 4125. I get a lot of false reports from security scans pointing to this port and if it not needed for anything then I will turn it off.

When would I need to turn this on?

Thanks

    only for really old programs that require ident to operate.  Even irc doesn't require this anymore..i would turn it off.  if you don't know you need it..you don't.
