Q: Pidentd stopped working for some reason - help! A: Always as a first step get the latest version of Pidentd from: ftp.lysator.liu.se:pub/ident/servers and install that one. Q: I just upgraded to Solaris 2.x from Solaris 2.(x-1), now Pidentd doesn't work anymore - why? A1: You did recompile Pidentd _on_ a machine running the new OS did you? A2: If you used Gcc to compile it: You did recompile and install a new version of Gcc configured for the new OS version, didn't you? (Gcc builds fixed include files which are used instead of the system ones - and they are _not_ portable between OS releases). Q: I just compiled it on Solaris 2.4 - and it doesn't work. All I get is "NO-USER". A: Make sure you have only installed _one_ of the patches: 102049-04 (I recommend this one) 102303-05 You can't have both installed at the same time. Q: I'm running IRIX 6.2 and Pidentd doesn't work. Help! A: If you are using a 64 bit machine (R10000) then you might have to compile with CC='cc -64' for it to work.
