Description
--------------------------------------------------------------
linux-identd is a simple identification daemon for Linux, which
implements the Identification Protocol (RFC1413). This protocol
is used to identify active TCP connections. The daemon listens
to TCP port 113 (auth) and can be run either as a stand-alone
daemon or through inetd(8).


Install
--------------------------------------------------------------
To compile and install this program:

	$ make
	$ make install

To start identd in daemon mode:

	$ /usr/sbin/identd -d

To start identd through inetd add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf:

	auth stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/in.identd in.identd

That's it!


Hints
--------------------------------------------------------------
Error logging is done using syslog(3) with facility set to
"daemon" and priority set to "error". Connection logging
uses priority "info".
