ITP: nullidentd -- minimal identd server implementing the auth protocol



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

http://www.tildeslash.org/nullidentd.html

nullidentd is intended to be a bare minimum identd server.

The program implements the auth protocol from RFC 1413.  This protocol
is used to identify active TCP connections.  It depends on the
trustworthiness of the server and as such is completely useless as a
method of identification.  Unfortunately some applications still require
that an identd server is available to query about incoming connections.
nullidentd implements the absolute minimum server to allow these
applications to function.  It returns a fake response for any request.
