+ +

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 superserver 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 his 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.
