Dear Shameem

ps -eaf | grep -i ident

u should conifigure the file

/etc/inetd.conf:

Hi,

1) Checking identd daemon is running or not?
---------------------------------
#ps -ef|grep identd
root 9329 1 0 04:39:05 pts/ta 0:00 /usr/lbin/identd

2) Entry in /etc/inetd.conf?
------------------------
ident stream tcp wait bin /usr/lbin/identd identd

3) Entry in /etc/services?
----------------------
ident 113/tcp authentication

4) Starting identd
----------------
#/usr/lbin/identd

Dear,

Thanks for your response.

I already know that ident is not configured on /etc/inetd.conf file and /etc/services ident autentication configured with tcp port & this process is not running.

But our security tool detected ident daemon is running on our HP UX node.

my question - is there any other file avaialble for configuration?

HP-UX support two ways. /etc/inetd.conf and /sbin/init.d/sendmail.

Check for /usr/lbin/identd in /usr/lbin/identd.

If the entry is there, identd will be started if sendmail is running.


Thanks

typo

check for /usr/lbin/identd in /sbin/init.d/sendmail.

thanks
