NAME

6       oidentd_masq.conf - oidentd NAT configuration file
7

DESCRIPTION

9       If NAT support is enabled with the --masquerade option, oidentd reads
10       the /etc/oidentd_masq.conf file to determine ident responses to queries
11       intended for other machines. It is also possible to forward queries to
12       ident servers on the hosts connecting through the machine oidentd runs
13       on. For more information on forwarding, please see the --forward option
14       in oidentd(8).
15
16       The NAT configuration file contains one rule per line. Lines are read
17       from top to bottom, and only the first matching rule is used. Lines
18       starting with a number sign ("#") are ignored.
19

RULE FORMAT

21       Rules must have the following form:
22
23           host[/mask] response system-type
24
25       The host field specifies the hostname or IP address of the host that
26       owns the connection for which an ident query was received. This host
27       must be connecting through the machine oidentd runs on. The host may be
28       specified as either an IP address or a hostname.
29
30       If a network mask is specified using the mask field, the rule applies
31       to all hosts in the given subnetwork. Network masks may be specified in
32       dot notation (e.g., "255.255.192.0") or in CIDR notation (e.g., "18").
33
34       The response field specifies the response to be sent when receiving a
35       query for the specified host or subnetwork.
36
37       The system-type field specifies the operating system to send alongside
38       the ident response. See the --other option in oidentd(8) for more
39       information.

EXAMPLES

42           # host[/mask]           response  system-type
43           10.0.0.1                user1     UNIX
44           server.internal         user2     UNIX-BSD
45           10.0.0.0/24             user3     UNIX
46           10.0.0.0/255.255.0.0    user4     UNKNOWN
47
48       Note that the order of the rules is significant in this example. Due to
49       lines being read from top to bottom, more specific rules must precede
50       more general ones. For example, the rule for "10.0.0.1" would not match
51       any connections if it were preceded by the more general "10.0.0.0/24".
