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 This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. Please report such in the category ident of the Tcllib SF Trackers [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12883]. Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or documentation. KEYWORDS

ident2 - An advanced ident daemon SYNOPSIS
ident2 [options] DESCRIPTION
ident2 is an advanced ident daemon, which can run as an inetd service or on it's own. It has various features such as user defined and ran- dom replies, extensive logging, and full administrative control. OPTIONS
The program follows the usual GNU syntax command-line unless it is unsupported on your system. GNU options begin with two dashes(`-') and have much more descriptive names. -h, --help Show summary of options. -u, --usage Shows example command lines -v, --version Show version information -l, --license Show licensing information -a, --force-inetd Force inetd mode, if autodetection isn't working. -d, --force-daemon Force standalone daemon, if autodetection isn't working. -i, --use-user-ident Allow user defined ident replies. Just do a echo 'ident ar' > ~/.ident to change your ident reply. -y, --user-reply-file File ident2 should look for in user's homedir for replies. Default is ~/.ident -n, --allow-noident-file Disable replies for user if user has a ~/.noident file. This behavior is disabled by default. -o, --client-timeout Clients timeout after this many seconds -s, --dont-change-uid Ident2 will normally try to change it's uid to something less privileged if it finds it's uid to be 0. This option disables this behavior altogether. -r, --always-random Always send a random reply, regardless of what kind of request the client made. This is useful for abusing the ident protocol as well as assisting outgoing IP masqueraded connections. -m, --daemon-maxclients Daemon-only: Accept no more than this many connections at a time. -p, --daemon-port Daemon-only: Bind this port, instead of 'auth' aka 113 SEE ALSO inetd(8), inetd.conf(5) AUTHOR
