Re: identd, revisited

Here is a good identd which you can run out of inetd or xinetd.

Call it /usr/sbin/ident or whatever you want and have it run out
of the appropriate inetd.conf or xinetd configuration file.  In many
cases most remove service checking in with an identd/auth server
won't even match up the socket pair with the port #s return so that
you could eliminate the read and just return '0, 0' but some services
might check.  Change 'root' to whatever userid you want to return...

#!/bin/sh
read a b
echo $a $b ': USERID : UNIX :root'
