disabling identd response
I have an old RH5 email server ( I know, but it's hard to update because we have an uucp email account with the ISP )
When a Windows PC client tries to send mail through smtp, the server sends a SYN to port 113 (AUTH), normally replied by RST from the PC, as Windows does not understand auth. XP SP2 firewall breaks this, as the flow starts from the server and I just want to turn this useless protocol off. Disabling auth in inetd.conf does not work.
