Description: replacement ident daemon
An ident (rfc1413) daemon for IPv4 and IPv6.
.
Oidentd allows users, given the proper permission, to specify the
identd response that the server will output when a successful lookup
is completed. Oidentd also allows for pseudo-random strings
(either a prefix, such as "user," followed by a number between 0 and
99999, or 10 pseudo-random characters of the set 0-9A-Za-z) to be
returned upon the completion of a successful lookup instead of a
username or a UID.
.
Oidentd supports IPv4 masqueraded connections, including netfilter.
