Actually, I've been trying to get this to work too. I have a
firewall/gateway machine set up (running PMFirewall, natch!), and am
trying to access IRC from a masq'd machine behind the firewall.

I have enabled "auth" in /etc/inetd.conf (i.e., no "#" in front of it. In
the pmfirewall.rules.masq script, I modified the following:

"/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc >/dev/null 2>&1" was changed to

"/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc" (all without the quotes, of course!)

Just to ensure all of these settings would take effect, I then issued the
command "/etc/rc.d/inittab/network restart" so that inetd.conf and
pmfirewall would both restart, and the change take effect. (And yes, the
approproariate modules all do reside in the ipv4 directory!)

When I tried to go to any DALnet server (which I like), it wouldn't let me
on because it didn't get any ident response! Is there something else,
either in a pmfirewall script or on the client machine I am trying to get
onto IRC from that has to be enabled??

Thanx for your help!
