oidentd_masq.conf(5)					  oidentd_masq.conf(5)

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 creat‐
       ing 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.
