Fake Identd.

This program replies with a static ident reply for a successful ident
query. (write something why this is written XXX)

This program handles all connection requests and connections in a
single process, thus reducing process creation overhead. This program
is configured to handle 20 concurrent connections.
Since one connection should not last long, if all 20 connections are
in use, the next connection will close the oldest connection data
has been read. This way this program is not very vulnerable to so 
called `denial of service' attack, thus making this ideal "identd"
to be used in a firewall, IP masquerading hosts etc.

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify

any later version.

The program is distributed in a single `self compilable' source file.


ChangeLog:
----------

Revision 1.2 1999/07/30 04:08:42 too

- Added printing version string (and exit) with `-V' command line option.

Revision 1.1 1999/04/21 17:23:20 too

- Writes process id to /var/run/identd.pid.
- Changes (effective) user id to `nobody' after initialization
     (binding socket etc.).
- Ignores some signals (HUP and PIPE).
- Handles some signals that aborts by default. The handler function
     tries to get rid of the pidfile.
