Hi all

on my debian fw, im running virtually no services (as to which is the
law) on my fw:

gate:~# netstat -ln
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:113             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

gate:~#


Soo I would like to know, if it is advisable to stop identd. I have
googled abit and from what I gather, its considered as dangerous and
basically pointless to run. By removing / stopping this service, will it
hamper hinder my users, other servers in any other way. I only run a
mail and ftp server.

Kind Regards and thanks inadvance
