The minidentd program
- -
-minidentd is a small -UCSPI server application -that answers IDENT requests. -
- -
Interface
- -
```
-     minidentd [ -v ] [ -n | -i | -r ] [ -y file ] [ -t timeout ]
-
```
- -
-minidentd reads a series of IDENT requests on stdin and answers -them on stdout. It logs what it's doing on stderr. The environment -variables xLOCALIP and xREMOTEIP, where x is -the value of the PROTO environment variable, must contain the IDENT -server address and the IDENT client address, respectively. -
- -
- minidentd exits 0 on success, 100 on a usage error and 111 on a system -call failure. -
- -
- minidentd does not contact the network directly. It's meant to -run under a super-server like -s6-tcpserver. minidentd will -work with IPv4 as well as IPv6. -
- -
Options
- -
- -v : verbose mode. Log queries and replies.
- -n : send ERROR : HIDDEN-USER replies if -the user has a .ident file in their home directory.
- -i : user-defined answers. The first 14 chars of the -user's .ident file, up to EOF or newline, are used instead of -the user name. If the file exists and is empty, send -ERROR : HIDDEN-USER. If it doesn't exist, send a normal reply.
- -r : send random replies.
- -y file : valid with -n or -i. -Use file instead of .ident.
- -t timeout : close connection after -timeout milliseconds without a client request.
- -
Notes
- -
- minidentd works only under Linux (2.2 or later); -on other systems, it will compile and run, but report an error for every -request. -The problem is that there is no portable Unix way of listing active -outgoing TCP connections with the relevant uids. On Linux, minidentd parses -the /proc/net/tcp or /proc/net/tcp6 virtual file. Other -systems have their own way of doing this, if you want your system to be -supported by minidentd, please contact the author.
