NAME

       ident - Ident protocol client

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tcl  8.3

       package require ident  ?0.42?

       ::ident::query socket ?callback?

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The   ident   package   provides   a   client   implementation	of  the  ident	protocol  as  defined  in  RFC	1413  (http://www.rfc-edi-
       tor.org/rfc/rfc1413.txt).

       ::ident::query socket ?callback?
	      This command queries the ident daemon on the remote side of the given socket, and returns the result of the query as  a  dictionary.
	      Interpreting the dictionary as list the first key will always be resp-type, and can have one of the values USERID, ERROR, and FATAL.
	      These response types have the following meanings:

	      USERID This indicates a successful response. Two more keys and associated values are returned, opsys, and user-id.

	      ERROR  This means the ident server has returned an error.  A second key named error is present whose value contains  the	error-type
		     field from the server response.

	      FATAL  Fatal errors happen when no ident server is listening on the remote side, or when the ident server gives a response that does
		     not conform to the RFC. A detailed error message is returned under the error key.

BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK

NAME

       ident - nnrpd ident resolver

SYNOPSIS

       ident [-p port] [-t]

DESCRIPTION

       This program attempts to resolve usernames for nnrpd by using the ident protocol to query the remote host.  It contacts the remote host
       using either IPv4 or IPv6 depending on which protocol was used for the incoming NNTP connection.

OPTIONS

       -p port
	   If this option is given, attempt to contact identd on the specified remote port (which can be a numeric or symbolic specification).
	   Non-numeric values will be looked up using getservbyname(3).  The default value is the result of "getservbyname("ident")" if available,
	   or port 113 otherwise.

       -t  If this option is given, the identity returned will never have a domain part.  That is, if the remote server returns a result
	   containing an "@" character, ident truncates the response at the "@".  This is useful to allow the default-domain parameter in
	   reaers.conf to override the domain supplied by the remote host (particularly if the supplied domain part is an unqualified local
	   machine name rather than a full domain name).

EXAMPLE

       The following readers.conf(5) fragment tells nnrpd to trust ident information for hosts on a local network, but to replace the domain
       returned from the ident query:

	   auth LAN {
	       hosts: "192.168/16"
	       res: "ident -t"
	       default-domain: "internal.example.com"
	   }

	   access LAN {
	       users: "*@internal.example.com"
	       newsgroups: example.*
	   }

       Access is granted to the example.* groups for all users on the local network whose machines respond to ident queries.
