When I was running older versions of the OS (up to early 1.5ALPHA), this
setup worked; under the latest 1.5ALPHA (Aug 29 sup), it doesn't.  I have
several systems behind an i386 box which is connected to a cable modem.
Running IRC on the i386 itself works OK, but from any of the machines
behind the i386, the server says I need to install identd.  Here's my
config files:

<1 gateway /home/allen>% cat /etc/ipnat.conf
map fxp0 192.168.0.0/24 -> 0.0.0.0/32 proxy port ftp ftp/tcp
rdr fxp0 0.0.0.0/0 port 113 -> 127.0.0.1 port 113
map fxp0 192.168.0.0/24 -> 0.0.0.0/32 portmap tcp/udp 10000:65000
map fxp0 192.168.0.0/24 -> 0.0.0.0/32

(I used to have 'auth' instead of '113', but at one point during the
upgrade, it claimed that 'auth' was unknown.  The line also looked
like this at one point:
rdr fxp0 192.168.0.0/24 port 113 -> 127.0.0.1 port 113
This is what worked before the upgrade:
rdr fxp0 192.168.0.0/24 port auth -> 127.0.0.1 port auth
)

<2 gateway /home/allen>% cat /etc/hosts.deny
ALL: ALL

<3 gateway /home/allen>% cat /etc/hosts.allow
ALL: LOCAL
ALL: c1111883-a.fedwy1.wa.home.com			<-- that's me
sendmail: registry.waisp.org
auth: ALL
ALL: irc2.home.com


<5 c610 /home/allen>% irc wormey irc.home.com
[buncha stuff flashes, probably screen setup]
*** Connecting to port 6667 of server irc.home.com
*** You are banned from this server:  install identd (from irc2.home.com)
*** You are not connected to a server. Use /SERVER to connect.


But irc _does_ work from gateway.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
