I've been having trouble connecting to IRC Servers from my gentoo machine. I'm assuming that its due to not having an Identd server running. My questiois, if i'm behind a NAT machine. should the gentoo box run the identd server or should the OBSD NAT Machine?

I alway thought you dont actually run the identd server, you just have the port open so it can accept request and not drop/refuse it. All you have to do is open port 113 (identd port) and it should be fine. Try:

Code:
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 113 -j ACCEPT


TTFN,

Also, you may have to have ip_conntrack_irc enabled in your kernel. (either compiled in or as a module.)
