sendmail testing

Anyone who wants to watch the bug in action, and whose sendmail is doing
the identd lookups, can send a message to himself via the mailserver here.
For instance, if you're foo () bar com, send mail to foo%bar.com () avian org
and get your sniffer handy.  If /tmp/fuckme shows up on your system, most
likely owned by bin, you've got the problem.

A less intrusive way is to just telnet here on port 113 to see what a
"rigged identd" would look like.  You need to type in one line to it.

Warning: plenty of profanity.  Deal.
