NAME

       oidentd_masq.conf - oidentd IP masquerading/NAT configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

       If  you  are  using IP masquerading or NAT, oidentd can optionally return a username for connections from
       other machines.  Support for this is specified by calling oidentd with the -m (or  --masq)  flag  and  by
       creating an /etc/oidentd_masq.conf file.

       oidentd  can  also forward requests for an IP masqueraded connection to the machine from which connection
       originates by way of the -f option.  This will only work if the host to which the connection is forwarded
       is running oidentd with the -P (proxy) flag, or if the host's ident daemon  will  return  a  valid  reply
       regardless  of  the input supplied by and the address of the host requesting the info (some ident daemons
       for windows do this, maybe others).

FORMAT

       <IP Address|Hostname>[/<Mask>] <Ident Response> <System Type>

       The first field contains the IP address or the hostname of a machine  that  IP  masquerades  through  the
       machine  on  which  oidentd  runs.   The  mask  parameter  can be either a network mask or a mask in CIDR
       notation.  A mask of 24 is equivalent to 255.255.255.0, a mask of 16 is equivalent to 255.255.0.0, etc.

       The second field specifies the reply that oidentd will return for lookups to the  host  matching  the  IP
       address specified in the first parameter.

       The third field specifies the operating system the machine matching the first parameter is running.
