I moved your last post to your original topic @fahadmehar. Please do not crosspost. Also please use code tags as already requested, I fixed it for you.
I installed oidentd in a virtual machine without problem.
In addition to Hallvor request, can you post (using code tags please) the output of

Hoow I FIX This ERROR ?

[Aki]

Hello

Perhaps there are some messages from oidentd in /var/log/syslog :

• sources / oidentd / 3.1.0-1 / src / oidentd.c

You can try the following commands (root password is required):

Code: Select all

script log.txt
su -l -c "zgrep oident /var/log/syslog*"
exit

The output will be in the file named log.txt

--
[1] closelog, openlog, syslog, vsyslog - send messages to the system logger

[fabien]

Code: Select all

root@dalnetchatworld:~# ip route show to exact 0/0
default dev venet0 scope link

According to oidentd manual:

-P, --proxy=ORIGIN
Allow the specified host to forward queries to this instance using the --forward option. If --reply is not specified, this option must be enabled for oidentd to correctly handle forwarded
connections.

On a simple network configuration:

Code: Select all

$> ip route show to exact 0/0
default via 192.168.0.254 dev enp3s0 proto dhcp src 192.168.0.11 metric 1002

which gives:

Code: Select all

$> ip route show to exact 0/0 | awk '{print "-P " $3}'
-P 192.168.0.254

On your system:

Code: Select all

$> awk '{print "-P " $3}' <<<"default dev venet0 scope link"
-P venet0

which is not a host but an interface name (hence the error).

In case you didn't notice, the name of this forum is Debian User Forums. Everyone here is a user who volunteers their time to help people with their problems. If you have a problem which no-one has experience with or no-one is able to help with, that's unfortunate but it happens and you may have to look to other means to solve it yourself. Being impatient and making demands will possibly lessen your chance of getting anyone to try to help.

[fahadmehar]

it's strange none is discussing this topic and this is most important topic and its a serious error. I Reinstall OS still not solve I don't understand what problem is it? Debian 8 was working fine when I shift to Debian 12 I got problems.

[blackbird]

As Fabien found out, you have no gateway configured on your installation but oidend expects a gateway ip address. Did you install Debian with OpenVZ? Then you could change the name of the thread to something like "oidentd, missing gateway on Debian 12 installed with OpenVZ".
Maybe someone knows about this problem. I have no experience with OpenVZ and can't help you.

Ubuntu 18 is working fine but not the only newer versions has problem not the old one. Debian 8 was working fine.

It is only in newer version of Debian 12 not on older version like Debian 8 . I try to Install on Ubuntu 18 and was working fine but when I try to upgrade Ubuntu 22 it start giving this error same in Debian. It is problem in newer version of Debian 12. Problem In Debian I Guess. If its my VPS . Server problem none should be working.
