Perhaps like most people, they refuse to answer ident requests. I run
fauxident.py for the same reason. It answers ident requests with just
enough bogus information to satisfy ident requests on servers I work
with.
/usr/local/src/fauxident-1.2.1/fauxident.py -r UNIX \
-u infidel,heretic,apostate -m -s 3
Replies with realm UNIX, randomly picks one of three fictitious

three random digits to the end of the username.
